Hello. I am Aghori Shaivite and I am a comic book writer and artist. I also write in the literary form, primarily in creative writing and speculative fiction. I do not limit myself to any genre and I love versatility. Collaborations are always fun and I work hard to make sure that any script or artwork I do for a team, client or partner is done well and with efficient timing. I have also been researching self-publishing and independent publishing, directing a comic book project with other artists, and getting more of a practical understanding with the business side of creative ventures. Please consider me for your projects. Thank you. www.aghoriverse.com aghoriverse.deviantart.com

Dear Potential Client, Want to know something? I've got a past. It's not a pretty thing to behold.... watching a committed writer open yet another email inviting her to apply for yet another short-term job isn't an attractive sight. Invitation after invitation, she's offered just one short story. Fifteen thousand words and then they're through—she never hears from that client again. However, there's a happy ending to this not-so-pretty scene. There are those golden moments when committed writers find a client who will stay, who wants a long-term relationship—a high-quality one built on great work and a whole lot of intriguing storytelling. As one of those committed writers, this is the kind of proposition I am prepared to offer to you in this golden moment. As a writer and storyteller, I consider intriguing characters and compelling plotlines to be the fabric of my job description. No matter what type of writing project I am entrusted with, fiction or non-fiction, I seek to infuse each word I write with uniqueness, utilizing a style that will hook the reader from the very start, keeping him engaged until the final phrase. I’d be pleased if you’d take a look at my complete resume and my Top Rated Upwork Profile (https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/_~0113cf2b63407a0d01/). I’m ready to write your novel and the one after that and so on. Let’s get started! My rate is 0.05 cents per word. Best, Sierra
