- The Query Letter
by Terje Johansen
Terje Johansen never thought seriously of himself as a writer, before he replied to an ad from a game company. They needed someone to do storyline writing for a computer game. For incomprehensible reasons he was given the project, and—wonder upon wonder—they actually signed a handsome check for the result. After that, it was a lot harder to take the long-time writing hobby as a hobby, and now the erstwhile computer science engineer cranks out fiction and non-fiction where he can find a square deal for it. The day job as a network administrator will be retained until writing pays more. No hurry.
