Attention All Literary Agents/Agencies Large and Small
I have decided to accept proposals to determine which literary agent/agency will earn an exciting opportunity. I am offering exclusive rights to represent me and all of my current and future works. That’s correct, this could be your chance to get on board with an author whose writings challenge accepted norms and has no fear tackling the most important topics. Join forces with a storyteller who may equal, and dare I say surpass, the great Ernest Hemingway in literary impact, honors, reverence and relevance.
Please limit proposals to no more than five hundred words, in Shunn Format and Times Roman Font. Actually, I take that back. Go ahead and use whatever format, font and however many words you need to express your individual style and flare.
You may only get one chance —
Wow me!
If you have what it takes to join me on a journey to the top of bestseller lists, movie and television projects and franchises, email me at ShortStoryScribe@gmail.com or contact me through my website
This will be a true and lasting partnership. No matter how big or small or well established or new you or your agency is, all will be thoroughly researched and be given serious consideration.
Hesitate at your own peril.

“Who the hell am I?”
I am currently an independent, self-published teller of tales,
an author on the precipice of worldwide renown.
At my heart I am a storyteller, and as such,
I know who I am,
and with that persona.
