That sounds amazing. I am a few chapters into a rather complex novel (one of a series, in my grand vision) designed to feature a future world government based on Living systems. I'm simplifying the process by writing separate storylines first, intending to weave them together later. This is a retirement activity, reveling in creative juices, not a push to fame or wealth. I am reading different authors, plotting the general storylines, and watching videos of writing dos and don'ts. More doing that than writing, I admit. But that is now shifting towards the actual writing and rewriting. I may not be ready to take advantage of your possible offer.
I have run the gamut—editors, marketing 'experts', sales funnel design, publicists, etcetera. And then, I came upon your videos on my YouTube feed and stopped to watch and listen. In those ten (or so) minutes, where you shared sentences from stories you'd received and reworked them into better versions of themselves, I learned more about the craft of authorship than all the online classes and earlier editorial comments had ever provided me. At once, still fresh in my mind, I went to my novel and analyzed each sentence—its relevance to the story, its 'too-detailed' telling without regard for the reader's intelligence, its repetitiveness, etc. The result? A 2,400-word reduction that brought the work to a new level of pacing. Amazing that a 3% excising of words made the novel a better read!
So, if your idea does, indeed, come to fruition, please let me know. I'm in.
Hi Patrick. I'm interested. Currently 12 months in to the writing of a near future British thriller about an NHS out of hours chatbot that apparently starts thinking for itself and disrupts the AI world as we see it now.
W Polsce beda zamykac ludzi w szpitalach psychiatrycznych na skutek tylko praktycznie donosu kazdego,.
Polska robi sie krajem gorszym od faszyzmu. Ja walcze z fala atakow bronia soniczna ( jest ich ogromna ilosc rowniez w UK) I z pewnoscia beda chcieli mnie uciszyv I zamknac. A ja juz nie mam gdzie mieszkac, bo wszedzie gdzie wynajmuje, za 2 tygodnie widze, ze jestem atakowana. Kobiety 50 + sa atakowane, te bez wyksztalcenia, sil do analizy.

It sounds amazing, but as a brand new author it sounds like it may be cost prohibitive at this stage, but will keep watching to see.
I love your plan. Please count me in and send me an invoice for my first payment!
I’ve written about 10 pages of THE NUN’S DAUGHTER as I think you know. Have vaguely mapped out more but could do with your input!
Best wishes,
Annie
