Indie in this case means self-published, and refers to author Terry Fallis, whose book The Best Laid Plans beat both the odds and established writers like Douglas Coupland and Will Ferguson to bag the prestigious prize. Tune in to In Other Words on Tuesday, July 29th when Diana Kiesners interviews Terry Fallis about podcasting, self-publishing and taking the unconventional path to literary success.
Terry Fallis's career has taken him from engineering school to public relations consulting. In between, his experiences in Ottawa working as a political staffer provided plenty of material for The Best Laid Plans, a satire about Canadian political life.
On the same show, travel writer and editor Julia Steinecke talks about Verge, a magazine devoted to "travel with purpose." She'll discuss the joys and perils of travel writing, and how to break into this difficult and desirable field.
Julia Steinecke's column about LGBT travel, "Pink Planet," appears monthly in the Toronto Star. She is the new editor of Verge Magazine.
