What Catherine is looking for?
​
Romance, first of all! Any sub-genre of it you can think of, I want to read it. I also enjoy mysteries, detective stories, paranormal, fantasy and science-fiction. Basically, I would read anything that captures my attention in the first chapter.

Robert Wingfield -
Submissions Director
The oldest member of the team, Robert has been writing for as long as he can remember, and a bit more. He used to work in cutting edge technology in a large financial business, and is a full member of the Charted Management Institute, but decided upon a complete change of direction, forming the Inca Project specifically to help unsigned or unpublished authors achieve their life's dream and get their works into print. During this time, he has been correcting and formatting other people's works, as well as completing 17 books in various genres of his own. He still runs the Inca Project, which is a small group of dedicated authors who mutually support each other’s writings, and is now assisting Fiery Seas with initial filtering of submissions. With experience extending back many years, he is able to quickly ascertain whether a work has outstanding merit, and is prepared to give honest feedback if requested.
What Robert is looking for?
​
Well-written works in any genre that flow neatly, avoid purple prose, and don't get bogged down in jargon or indecipherable slang. You need to have a good, believable (and yes, it does apply to sci-fi and fantasy as well) plot that engages the reader during the first few pages. This is an essential requirement, because with the number of submissions, he cannot promise to read every word of every one, but will at least go through the first few chapters and the ending. The acid test for you is if you can read it out loud to your pet aardvark without stumbling all the time, then the likelihood is that you are on to a winner.

What is Michelle looking for?
As a dedicated bibliophile, I love and appreciate all books. I like to try out many different genres. My passion is for Science Fiction/ Fantasy. I grew up reading Stephen King, Anne Rice and Dean Koontz. Even when it wasn’t “appropriate" for a young lady, I found ways to make them mine. The library was my favorite place to go to find adventures. Instead of makeup and clothes I spent my allowance on books. As adulthood progresses, my appetite for the story only gets stronger. Help me feed the hunger with your tales of intrigue and yarns of other worlds.
