Hello!

This platform is absolutely fabulous. It truly epitomizes what I’ve always envisioned interactive fiction to be. I think I can greatly contribute to your team.

I tend to specialize in characters with strong alpha personalities. I’m known for dry humor, choices that matter (some choices can result in the character’s death!) and for detailed world building. I really think these traits will be appreciated here!

I’m a very fast learner, flexible and take direction well. I’m really interested In working on Tales for numerous reasons, but one of the most prominent is the aesthetic of the platform. The usability, friendly relatability of the cute fox and the variety of well crafted and interesting stories had me immediately hooked.

I really enjoyed my time with Episode but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to keep up with the demand for more episodes because of the steep time commitment for coding. While I’m no wallflower when it comes to learning and using technology, I really thrive when I’m able to spend the majority of my time crafting the story. I’ve relished the focus on narrative description, strong dialogue and impactful choices that each of your stories have.

You can tell the love, sweat and sleepless nights that went into launching this app. The amount of detail is incredible and so appreciated. As a reader, I feel completely immersed into every tap I take. Honestly, the feeling I experience reading your stories is what I’ve always wanted to give my readers.

A platform such as yours, that really focuses on the quality of the story with beautiful artwork is the stuff of my sweetest dreams. I would love the opportunity to both create new and original stories as well as assist in the creation/updating of existing ones. I think I’d probably faint if giving the opportunity to also bring some of my own work on board.

I currently live in Southern California, so I wouldn’t be able to commute to San Francisco but I do have open availability. Additionally, I have experience writing in the traditional literary sense as I have ghostwritten two Harlequin romance novels.

Outside of creative writing, I have experience in journalism both at the UCLA student newspaper, The Daily Bruin and at a cluster of magazines such as Locale and Her Campus.

I would love to help and contribute in any way that I can. Thank you for putting such a fantastic app together. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have!

Thank you so much for considering my application.
