Beyond the Page 15: From Hollywood to Novelist with Kay A. Oliver

What happens when someone who spent decades behind the scenes in Hollywood decides to become a novelist?In Episode 15 of Beyond the Page, I sit down with award-winning author Kay A. Oliver to talk about her journey from a nearly 30-year career in the entertainment industry to writing fiction and building an impressive catalog of 18 novels.Kay shares how her experiences in Hollywood influenced her storytelling, why she gravitates toward writing strong and intelligent female protagonists, and what she's learned about finding—and trusting—her own creative voice.We also discuss the realities of the entertainment industry, her writing process, working with editors, resilience, artificial intelligence and creativity, and the importance of continuing to pursue the work that matters to you.Kay also talks about her Kutter Murder Mystery series, including Fear Struck, and what continues to motivate her after publishing so many books.It's a conversation about writing, reinvention, persistence, and following your own path—even when that path takes you somewhere you never expected.Find Kay: https://kayaoliver.com/Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumJoin Captivate.fmJoin PodMatchWant to be a guest on Page Chewing?
