An Interview with Ohio Author Gail Popp
Gail Popp grew up near Spencer, West Virginia with her three sisters and one brother on her parent's farm. I met Gail in October at our Rocktober Book Festival. An engaging author, Gail is a retired elementary school teacher and principal. She has taught English as a Second Language in Ecuador, Japan and for Ohio University and Marietta College. Residing in Marietta, Ohio, Gail enjoys sharing her literary works with the world.
Welcome, Gail!
GM: When did you release your first book?
GP: My first book, A Week On Granddaddy’s
Farm, is a historical fiction based on the life of the author and portrays
life as a ten year old child in the 1940s in the hills of West Virginia.
GM: What other books have you written?
GM: Take us through a day in your life as a
writer…
GP: A day in my life as a writer is usually
composed of continuous writing though the days until the composition is
complete.
GM: When did you realize you wanted to be a writer?
GP: I realized I wanted to be a writer when I
was young. I have always enjoyed reading.
GM: What are your thoughts on writing,
editing, and marketing?
GP: My thoughts on being a writer is that it
is important to have something to share with others. Editing is a necessary
part of the process and book promotion can be expensive.
GM: Who is your favorite author?
GP: My favorite author is Ken Follet. I just
completed reading The Woman in Gold.
GM: List things that your fans may not know
about you…
GP: Things others might be interested in
knowing are: I’m a retired teacher and administrator, a mother, grandmother and
Great Grandmother. I live in Marietta, Ohio and have a poodle named Max. I have
lived and taught ESL abroad and for Ohio University and Marietta College.
