edit data

Lara Campbell McGehee writes social science fiction and fantasy of the kind that is often called 'literary cross-over'. The authors who have influenced and inspired her the most include Ursula K. Le Guin, Gene Wolfe, Vonda N. McIntyre, Richard Adams, and, of course, J.R.R. Tolkien.

Quotes by Lara Campbell McGehee (?)

“I believe one of the important differences between creating literature and just telling a story around the campfire is that in literature you’re recreating the experience of life, not just relaying a ‘this happened, then that happened’ kind of narrative. The specific details and layers of depth that make the world of the story — and what the character is experiencing in that world — as real as possible are elements I love as a reader and, consequently, elements I strive to use effectively as a writer.”
