I'll just throw my 3rd person bio in here:
My early writing accomplishment were multiple hits within a few years: In my first year of writing back in 1987, I wrote three Sf short stories that were accepted by major slick magazines which qualified me for the Science Fiction Writers of America, and at the same time achieved a Finalist award in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest. This recognition garnered me a top gun SF agent at the time, Richard Curtis Associates. My first novel went to John Badham (Director) and the Producers, the Cohen Brothers. Only an option, but an extreme honor. The writer who beat me out of contention for a feature movie and publication, was Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park. My book was called Dinothon.
A year after that I published two best-selling non-fiction books and landed on radio, TV, in every library in the U.S., Walden and B. Dalton and in hundreds of newspapers.
I have been trying to catch that lightning in a bottle ever since. My YA dystopian novel, The Girl They Sold to the Moon won the grand prize in a publisher's YA novel writing contest, went to a small auction and got tagged for a film option. So, I'm getting there.
On the negative side: I have a potential best seller that came out, but it is in novel form. It's loaded with stunning visuals and the premise is so unique that over 95 review bloggers have never heard of isuch an alternate world before. And it's insufferably high budget--nothing contemporary about it. I could use an advisor to help me guide this project in the right direction. We novelists are a bit lost here. But hopeful.
