Introduce Yourself : Writer of Fantasy and Horror by Varun Prabhu

Hello there folks, This time I won't be that formal. Because last 2-3 times, I did. I am an aspiring screenwriter, been learning the craft and practicing script writing. Frankly, I am happy that I have found another medium of storytelling, which is what I love doing. Yes, people tend to balk when I tell them I write stories for a living. Yes, I am a professional writer. Freelancing in ghostwriting for now, but sometimes, I also write content. But non-fiction isn't really my forte. What I really love is fiction. I am primarily a novelist than a screenwriter. I simply adore prose. As an avid reader and modest writer, I prefer epic fantasy, urban fantasy, supernatural, horror, psycho-thrillers, and dark fantasies. I sometimes write science fiction and post-apocalyptic thrillers. I am soon going to be an author since I will be publishing my debut novel - a prequel standalone that is part of a huge epic fantasy series called The Glaecean Chronicles. It is slated to release next month. And yes, I am going the indie route. The book that is coming out is titled The Greentree Predicament and am hoping that people will love it. Epic Fantasy, did I say? Think of it more like a cross-genre fiction because it has got multiple genres within it (War and Strategy, Sword and Sorcery, Romance, Horror, Suspense)... Apart from this, I write short stories and occasionally submit to dailies and magazines. Some of them have been selected. I intend to write more and more of these and try to get featured in anthologies. It just builds great credits. The latest genre I have been attracted to is Historical Fiction and Historical Fantasy. I am working on a retelling of The Mahabharata from Subhadra's POV (which few authors have done). As far as screenwriting is concerned, I have finished and rewritten two. One is a fantasy that deals with the struggles of two brothers who fight against each other for a throne of kings while the whole world is embroiled in a game that is either going to make or break it. The other one is a combination of science fiction and supernatural horror. Currently, both of them remain untitled. I have toyed with many. Just out of ideas. I plan to pitch at least one of them this year. Hopefully. Fingers crossed. Apart from all of this, I love to read books. Tolkien, GRRM, Archer, Jordan, Rothfuss, etc..There are many favorite authors...I love TV shows and am an addict and proud. Oh ya, I would love to write for TV one day because that medium intrigues and interests me at the same time :D :) Would love to interact with ye guys. Fel free to connect with me.
