Trivia
The most I
ever got paid for a poem was $800, when my
poem "City Bus Driver Lady" won first place
in a contest hosted by a college in Georgia. |

BIOGRAPHY OF THE
WRITER
Jody Wallace grew up in the South in a very rural area.
She went to school a long time because there was always
something new to learn and ended up with a Master's Degree in Creative
Writing. Her resume includes college English instructor,
technical documents editor, market analyst, web
designer, and general all around pain in the butt. She
currently lives in Tennessee with her family:
1 husband, 2 kids, 2 cats. One of her many alter egos is "The Grammar
Wench", which should give you an indication of her
character. She is a terrible packrat and likes to amass
vintage clothing, books, Asian-inspired kitchenware,
gnomes, and other items that threaten to force her
family out of the house. She also likes cats. A lot.
Ms. Wallace's approach to writing is to tell as many
outlandish lies as she can get her readers to swallow.
Her dream is to be moderately well-paid for this
service. When her stories end up spicy, she releases them as Ellie Marvel.
Ms. Wallace is active in RWA and occasionally conducts
writing workshops. Among topics she's been known to
cover are training sessions for contest judges (she
coordinated her local RWA chapter contest for many
years), point of view, dialogue punctuation and
creativity enhancement.
Since she has a split
personality, here are two author photos taken by Rebecca
Walk of Rebecca Walk photography in Nashville, TN. You can
decide for yourself which one is Jody and which one is Ellie.
