Etienne Rose Olivier
Etienne Rose Olivier came to writing circuitously while earning a Radio, TV, Film degree. Her major's emphasis was film production, but when impacted classes delayed her graduation, she changed her emphasis to screenwriting. She is so glad that she did.
It didn't take long for Etty to learn that screenplays didn't satisfy her writing urges, so she turned to novels. She attempted a few before hitting her stride with her memoir THANK YOU FOR LEAVING ME: A DIVORCED FORTY-SOMETHING’S BIZARRE, SOMETIMES HILARIOUS, AND OFTEN SEXUAL TWO-YEAR JOURNEY IN SEARCH OF LOVE, for which she currently seeks representation.
She won second place for her short story UNDER THE STARS at the 2011 South Carolina Writers Conference. In the February 2014 Short Story Award for New Writers, Glimmer Train awarded this story an Honorable Mention.
Etty lives in Charleston, South Carolina with her miniature schnauzer, Angus.
