Fan Fiction and Retellings

What is fan fiction? Is there a difference between fan fiction, retellings, and reimaginings? What makes us categorize them as being similar?

In the latest episode of "Writer's Digest Presents," the WD editors tackle this topic by talking about each of these types of writing separately, while also seeing how they can serve one another—like different branches of the same tree.

Then, stick around for a conversation with managing editor Moriah Richard and fan-fiction author Spoons!
