Hello there, Maestropub. I'm a professional author from the U.K. I'm very interested in your project and would love to be involved. Please see PM for answers to your questions and a sample of my work. Many thanks.
I've done a lot f mixed genre fantasy and SF, but usually mixed with other genre elements as well, such as Thriller (be it set in the 1940s, modern day, or 1000 years from now, a thriller is a thriller). I tend to write very visually (like seeing a movie in your head), love mixing several plot elements in with the action sequences (no need for a "talking heads" scene if the info can be gotten across while something else is going on at the same time), and have never had any of my works described as "slow". I've written some pretty big books, but they all go along at a good pace nonetheless.
My samples are attached via PM.
Hi,
I will begin by answering the three questions you raised.
1. Why would you like to write for us?
Because I am confident enough to write for you as I've done similar assignments in the past. I love mystery/thriller genre. I have a work under active consideration of a literary agency though it is not exactly a mystery.
2. What experience do you have writing in this style?
I have done at least one similar work to the immense satisfaction of my client.
3. What do you think makes your writing stand out?
I can think out of the box. I connect with the readers. I try to get into the minds of characters when I forget I am the one writing. At the end of every chapter I leave a little suspense making the work a compelling read.
