George was an avid reader from a very young age. He devoured everything he could lay his hands on, rummaging through his friends’ bookcases, libraries and book shops. Still, all the stories he read had a tendency to end, at which point withdrawal symptoms set in. In moments like these, he envisioned himself as the main character in his latest favorite story, trying to imagine how it would evolve from that point on.

Still, it all remained a bunch of fantasies which he never bothered to write down or expand upon.

For fifteen long years, he forgot all about his reading passion – until in 2020, as a married grownup man who’d tried his hand at a good dozen occupations, he discovered a new outlet for his imagination. His wife enrolled in a meditation course which included free writing as part of the practice. For about a month, George watched her do it before trying to emulate it himself.

Now, just over three years later, George has come a long way, having penned over thirty published novels. He has no intention of stopping, either. For him, conjuring up brand new worlds of his own making is now the best job he can think of.
