We have built a video game that is essentially a combination of the classic "Choose Your Own Adventure" books (CYOA) and Role Playing Games (RPG's) and we need a couple authors to help generate content.
Classic RPG-style Combat and social interactions will play a role in the book, but we will handle the details on that. You handle the copy.

This project is absolutely perfect! I grew up with CYOA and that series in part inspired me to be a writer. My work is quite imaginative and skillful, as I have broad literary and media knowledge. See PM. Thanks.
Hi, I am a creative writer; I am very interested in your project and proud to anounce that I fullfill all five requirements, pluse Your offer of 1.6% interest is enough to keep me writing for you. Please see PM for details...
I'm a long-time geek, RPGer and fan of the CYOA books. I'm comfortable with most of the genres listed and a few more come to mind. I will confess to not being crazy about the Chick Lit genre.
I'm agreeable to the percentage profit sharing quoted for at least the first book. I hope the quality of my writing will increase that percentage and foster great sales as well! Pretty excited about the opportunity to see my name on the story too. Most of my work has been ghostwriting.
Now you can:
A. Reject my bid and go to selection D,
B. Tell me you want more info and maybe a writing sample before you make a decision, or
C. Bring me on as one of your talented authors and everyone lived happily ever after, or
D. Please go back and pick B or C!
I look forward to more discussion about your project.

I am a Published novelest; all of my work is traditionally published, and loved for its high quality content and imagination. Due to the nature of the information that you placed in the job description, there realy is no way for any one to bid on something like that becuse it is based upon sales of the book, and the time that it would take to finish writing a good quality novel. I am on bord though, if you would like it. You would get a traditionaly published novlest with perfect English. Everything that I have published has been SiFi and Fantacy, and I love pick yor path books. I am the man for the job there is not doubt about that. I bid for the time that it would take me to write one novel and proofread it as I go. We can work out the priceing latter.
I don't bid on projects here very often, but this posting is truly intriguing. I'm an experienced fiction writer and will provide samples upon request. I love science fiction, Chick Lit, witch craft fiction.
Please consider me for this project---you won't be disappointed.

Hi there, I have checked out your website and have reviewed your guidelines, I would be very interested working with you on this project. Please see my PM for details.
Dear David,
I would like to be involved with writing these stories for you, i actually wrote one of these stroies when i was younger and it was alot of fun.
I just looked on your website and i think it would be quite excitng to be apart of bringing quality story telling to moderm applications like phone based games etc.
I have recently written my first fanatsy based novel involving a variety of mythical creatures. I have started my second novel in the series and have story board ideas for my three subsequent novels also. It's a passion of mine to bring characters to life and make my audience believe and feel!
I am not a full time writer but i believe that my best work occurs because writing makes me happy and its not my day job.
I look forward to your further feedback and should i not be the successful candidate i wish you every success with your venture.
Kind regards
Ms Carly Heenan
I am 28 years old, I am a poet and a writer and was a Choose Your own Adventure fanatic as a kid. I am currently in the middle of a fiction book but I am not working a full time job so I have more than ample time for your project.
Greetings David,
My name is Jason I've always been a fan of the Choose your own adventure books and wanted to play a part in completing some of my own. I think that your idea is brilliant and would be honored to participate in creating the content or writing the copy for it.
I traditionally write in horror, sci-fi, fantasy/adventure and comedy so have an endless supply of ideas for this project.
Hope to hear from you soon with further information, thanks.
I write sci-fi, horror and fantasy fiction comics, short stories and novels as well as editing them. I also have too many years experience at RPGs and CYOA books!
I can send you samples of my fiction if required.
Thanks.
