Welcome to Episode 15 – How Whitney Terrel Writes

 

I first heard Whitney speak during a lecture for my MFA. I remember being captivated by the amount of practical, meaty information Whitney shared with the class. My pen was catching fire as I tried to keep up.

 

This episode with Whitney follows that same trajectory. Whitney shares so many usable ideas—from how to write from the other, to tips on pacing, and story structure. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed speaking with Whitney. I could have gone on and on with him.

 

So, I made THREE error in my intro of Whitney. Even though I do a healthy amount of research on all of my guests, I managed to not pronounce Whitney’s last name right in his intro. It is not Ter-rell, but Terrell. Correcting that for the record now. Also, Whitney is the co-host of the Fiction nonfiction podcast with the novelist V.V. Ganeshananthan. Last, Whitney is an Associate Professor, not an Assistant Professor. Please forgive me.

 

Before we get started, this episode is sponsored by… me! How Writers Write is a platform to help writers tell their story. One way I do that is through one-on-one coaching. I help writers move from where they are, to where they want to be. That can mean getting started on a writing project, conquering their self-doubt, or building the discipline to see their story come to life. I invite you to schedule a free, 45-minute introduction call with me. You'll be able to determine both if coaching is for you, and if I am the coach you want to work with. Visit www.howwriterswrite.com/coaching to read more and schedule time with me. 

 

Without any  further ado… here is the episode with Whitney Terrel
