Profile / Skills:

 

I’m former Appalachian State International Studies student and published poet looking for employment with your publishing house to be of better service to society, my family, and myself. As an exponent of the ideals of liberalism such as individualism, virtuosity, and meliorism, I would like to put my intellect to work in shaping the Discourse as to not only accommodate but evolve the ideals of liberalism to a degree commensurate with our civilizational development since modern liberal society’s tumultuous birth.

My book of poetry, “As Below, So Above” is available through the Vanguard Press imprint of Pegasus Publishers in the United Kingdom and in As Below, So Above I try to impress upon the reader a postmodern sense of Greco-Roman virtue through various different poetic personas that could sustain the reader through every day or emancipatory struggles. I’m applying with your publishing house as a novelist because I have several novels in the works that, were I provided the economic leeway needed to properly research them, could come to profitable fruition for your publishing house. In 2011 I was awarded the John Foster West Poetry Scholarship while attending Appalachian State and am well-acquainted with what not only reverberates but resonates and resounds with a postmodern literary audience. Among the prospective novels I desire to write are the day-to-day travels of a pair of Plague Doctors during the Thirty Years’ War, a novel akin to Game of Throne about the cataclysmic events leading up to and including the Siege of Malta, and a trilogy about the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Era, and the birth of the Victorian Age in the fires of the Battle of Trafalgar.

I would also like to pen a novel about the Battle of Spotsylvania in the spirit of Michael Shaara but such a work, for me, may be years or decades in the making given the necessity of researching the Northern and Southern generals’ correspondence pursuant of remedying the scar the battle left on our maturing nation’s memory through the literary arts.
