[QUOTE="Chromnos, post: 245582, member: 5696"] Sounds like a plan. Are you familiar with Robert Aspirin's books as well as the Old Elf-Quest Graphic novels? I am good friends with both of the publisher's sons. They both still read manuscripts for him (these include submissions from all genres). One of them discovered Conversations With God. The other guy designed the cover. Both have a keen interest in fantasy. I spoke with the pusblisher last year and he said he was interested in new fantasy/magical realism/sci-fi. A number of authors, publishers and agents will be at the convention. This weekend I'm going to be hanging out with one of the publisher's sons. I'll get the details on the convention and send them to you this monday. Looks like you and I are in similar boats. I'm writing and editing nonfiction that is outside of the field I want to write in and you are writing and editing for game products which are inside the genre but it's still not books. I'm the lead editor for Jane's World Insurgency and Terrorism, Jane's Chem-bio Handbook, Jane's Chem-bio Web, and Jane's CopCase. All of which I write for and am published in. I've had articles I've written quoted in Wired magazine among others and despite the prestige I'd kill to have even a third of your freelancing experience. -C -C [/QUOTE]
