Writing
Orman penned many spin-off novels from Doctor Who for Virgin Publishing, BBC Books and Telos Publishing, the first non-British and first female author to do so. Several of her later Doctor Who works were in collaboration with her husband. She has also collaborated with Paul Cornell: Orman and Cornell co-plotted Human Nature, written by Cornell, and Return of the Living Dad, written by Orman. More recent Doctor Who and related work has been for Big Finish.
Orman has also had a number of short science fiction stories published.
In 2004, Orman and Blum's Doctor Who novella Fallen Gods, published by Telos the previous year, won the Aurealis Award for best Australian science-fiction book.

Famous quotes containing the word writing:
“... in writing you cannot possibly be interesting if what you say is not true, if it is what I call a true lie, i.e., a truth which gives the wrong impression. For no matter how subtly you lie in writing, people know it and dont believe you, and the whole secret of being interesting is to be believed.”
—Brenda Ueland (18911985)
“The importance to the writer of first writing must be out of all proportion of the actual value of what is written.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (18991973)
“It seems to me that since Ive had children, Ive grown richer and deeper. They may have slowed down my writing for a while, but when I did write, I had more of a self to speak from.”
—Anne Tyler (20th century)
