The Authors Quill _author and Chair of Life_ the Universe and Everything_ Jenna Allen & Josh Mayne

from United Public Radio · host UFO Paranormal Radio

Jenna Allen is Chair of the Life, the Universe, and Everything Symposium, and has been a member of the conference committee for over six years. She came to writing via an unusual path, stumbling into the world of narrative improv as an actor in San Francisco and Los Angeles. While studying and performing the art of improvised storytelling at institutions such as BATS Improv, Impro Theatre, and The Upright Citizen's Brigade for seven years, she found herself creatively freed enough to write. She also attributes her success and growth in the writing world to attending writing conferences, which has brought her amazing friendships and a host of adventures. She is nearly done with her first novel, but meanwhile you can follow her at The Writer's Mysterium on social media where she talks about freeing creativity, and spouts whimsy. She lives in Lehi, Utah near a herd of deer she is considering allowing to become her roommates. Josh Mayne is one of those guys who still hasn't decided what he wants to be when he grows up. He enjoys writing, games, and volunteering - a lot. He volunteers for Search and Rescue, Ski Patrol, EMT, and his church. He has also volunteered as a Co-Chair for the science fiction and fantasy symposium Life the Universe and Everything (LTUE) in Provo, UT. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
