Welcome to Tell The Damn Story, where we delve into the challenges of storytelling and the creative process with our guests.
In today's episode, cohosts Chris Ryan and Alex Simmons are happy to have returning the esteemed author Teel James Glenn.
With over 470 manuscripts to his credit, Teel takes us on a fascinating journey through the realm of writing what you know, feel, and love. Especially his favorite genre, pulp fiction.
Throughout the episode, we explore that genre and how it has shaped modern perceptions of heroes and hope.
We also uncover Teel's unique approach to storytelling, from his process of weaving different characters and genres into his work to his experiences with rejection and perseverance in the face of adversity.
Join us as we gain valuable insights from our guest's remarkable writing journey.
So, grab a pen, sit back, and let's Tell The Damn Story!
