Seeking Novelist & Co-Author

I am Sean-Michael Argo, a professional filmmaker moonlighting as a writer from time to time.

I am looking for a novelist to co-author a long list of novels. I have several project in development right now, and would like someone to help me get these projects finished and published.

Essentially I have written several role-playing settings, with plots, characters, and much of the details that make the world complete. I am seeking a writer who can work hand in hand with me to get these settings & plots turned into novels. Right now I have two such projects ready to go.

I have contacts in the publishing industry (and no, that doesn't mean Publish America or Iuniverse, used them before, now have REAL contacts). So I can make sure that we have a solid opprotunity for publishing that will put our novels on shelves.

I am looking for writers capable of several genres, being able to switch back & forth from gritty steampunk fantasy, to science fiction, and traditional fantasy stories.

If after recieving your writing samples I choose to work with you, I would send you the materials along with a contract, which would set forth that we would be 50/50 in ownership, creative control, and royalties. Then we just throw drafts back & forth until we have something ready to publish.

Email me with a resume & writing samples, then we can go from there.

These are steampunk fantasy and nautical fantasy for the first two. Ideally we would build two worlds in which several novels could be written.

Once the first novel is finished I have access to an agent. If that doesn't pan out, there is always the usual submissions route. I am hesitant to self-publish due to the stigma attached to it, but with current marketing technology, this is a last ditch option if we need it to be.
