Tyrell Gephardt (or Ty as most people call him) was born into a creative life. He was surrounded by fantasy and science fiction all the time. His parents both worked in creative fields either directly or helping others with their artistic pursuits.

He would routinely take his friends on imaginary adventures in the backyard when he was young. Later, he worked at Renaissance festivals and helped run science fiction conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also has an endless thirst for stories. That led him to complete a creative writing degree from the University of Missouri<\/a><\/strong> after he finished an AA in liberal arts from Johnson County Community College<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, Tyrell has edited and provided guidance on everything from short stories to novels. He has a keen eye for the requirements and benchmarks of a good story and can often point out angles others miss. He has spent the last several years observing marketing trends and techniques that work (or don\u2019t) for creative independent entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to come from Tyrell Gephardt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We first introduced Tyrell in a blog post, Changes at Weird Sisters Publishing<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. Ty’s first public-facing projects for Weird Sisters Publishing build on his marketing observations with a blog post series<\/strong> on publishing trend predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, this is the best we can do for a photo of him. He’s an excellent photographer, which means he’s usually the man behind <\/strong><\/em>the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
