Carol Berg
Carol Berg majored in mathematics at Rice University so she wouldn't have to write papers. But at the same time she took every English course that listed novels on the syllabus, just so she would have time to keep reading. Somewhere in the midst of raising kids, earning a computer science degree, and pursuing a software engineering career, a friend teased her into exchanging letters written "in character." The game quickly got out of hand.
Since her first novel was published in 2000, Carol has taught writing in the US, Europe. Canada, and Israel, and answered mail from as far away as New Zealand, Kuwait, the slopes of Denali, and beneath the Mediterranean Sea. Her twelve mythic fantasy novels have earned national and international acclaim, including the Geffen Award, the Prism Award, and multiple Colorado Book Awards. Her Lighthouse Duet - Flesh and Spirit, and Breath and Bone - won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature. Her latest novel, The Soul Mirror, received starred reviews from both Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews, which called it "Compelling and altogether admirable." Carol lives in Colorado at the foot of the Rocky Mountains

Making It as a Full-Time Writer
In the 1940s and 1950s, writing SF paid a few cents a word and an apartment in New York was $100/month. SF -- sometimes -- pays a little more now, but ... How does a part-time writer become a full time one? Can he or she do so? What are some of the differences for non-fiction writers? |
