287: Lisa Fellinger - Author of The Serendipity of Catastrophe


Listen Later

This week our guest is Lisa Fellinger (The Serendipity of Catastrophe, indie published, March 2024). Lisa’s educational background in mental health counseling has proved handy as she moved in her current work as a book coach, developmental editor, and debut novelist, since digging deeper into what makes a character tick is one of the biggest problems she sees in her client’s manuscripts. We discuss how her novel began as a 2015 NaNoWriMo project, how an editor has to learn to take off her “critique” hat when drafting their first draft, and how she credits the WFWA community with making her a stronger writer.

Lisa Fellinger writes contemporary women's fiction with lovably flawed, relatable characters. When she's not writing her own stories, she's helping others achieve their writing dreams as a book coach and developmental editor. She lives in Buffalo, New York with her husband, son, and fur babies.
