I specialize in commissioned tie-in novels for indie creators and small projects.

I am a firm believer that a well-crafted universe can support untold numbers of compelling stories and adventures across a variety of mediums. The idea of adapting my writing style and voice to fit the vibe of someone else's world is fascinating, and something I enjoy doing. Whether it's writing a novel to accompany an indie game project, a short story for a webcomic, or expanding the lore of an indie animation project with a novella.

Having worked in game studios, I can operate under non-disclosure agreements when necessary.

All content is 100% human-written.

Specific examples on who I’d love to work with:

  • Indie video game developers (story rich or narrative-driven titles)

  • Webcomic and indie graphic novel creators

  • Animation & multimedia project indie creators

I’m a good fit if you’re looking for:

  • Settings involving grounded science fiction, cyberpunk, or speculative

  • Character-driven stories with emotional weight

  • Action, suspense, and/or thriller in genre

  • Uplifting themes of hope, perseverance, determination, etc – without sanding off the violence

  • Load-bearing romantic subplots

This is not a strict guide, nor does every box need to be ticked—these are just my strongest lanes. Please reach out, even if you’re worried that your project isn’t a good fit!

I recommend starting with a short story, before evaluating a larger scope project.

Once I understand the scope of your project, I can give you rates and payment structure options (flat fee, royalty only, or hybrid).

Deliverables:

The full manuscript in .odt or .doc format. Publishing and cover design stay on your end, unless we scope that separately.

My Approach:

My goal is to write something that feels like it belongs in your world. I put a strong emphasis on matching tone, character voice, and thematic consistency while still bringing my own strengths in pacing, emotional depth, and character relationships. This vibe-matching goes all the way down to even word selection.

As a lifelong gamer, comic reader, and animation enjoyer, I have a three-pillar approach to understanding your project's world:

  1. Going hands-on with your IP: Playing your game, reading your comic, watching your animations/series.

  2. An assembled soundtrack that you feel distills the emotional vibe. Whether this is your original soundtrack, or off-the-shelf tracks that you feel best represent your project.

  3. Strong communication to give you ample opportunity to course-correct when necessary.

How It Works:

The process generally goes as such:

  1. Initial conversation about your world, vision, and scope

  2. Proposal & rate discussion (I am open to flat-fee, hybrid, and royalty-only models):
    Flat-fee: Fixed payment across three milestones - 33% on signing, 33% on first draft delivery, and final 33% on final revisions accepted
    Hybrid: Lower fixed price across three milestones, plus 25% royalties on copies sold after you earn back your up-front payment
    Royalty-only: Zero up-front cost, but I earn 50% royalties on all copies sold

  3. Contract signing

  4. Outline approval

  5. First draft

  6. Revisions (up to one major and two minor)

  7. Final delivery & sign-off

What I Need From You:

  • Access to your project’s canon expert – so that I know what’s creatively locked down, open for invention, and making sure my work follows established patterns

  • A story bible, wiki, or lore document containing reference to ensure I stay within established canon

  • The deadline
