Writer Seeking Illustrator

Writer Chris Pederson sent me a note saying he’s looking for an illustrator for a project. If you’re interested, contact Chris at the email below. He says:

Looking for six B&W illustrations similar to the ones found in early Doctor Who Target novels.

The translated story was originally written in 1906 and heavily influenced by Jules Verne’s “Master of The World.”

It is a 6 chapter novella length book that could very nicely showcase an artist’s work.

Please contact Chris if interested:
