Hi everyone,
I’m Mark Carter — writing under the pen name Kate Carr — and I’m just beginning to step into this side of the industry after a long time working quietly behind the scenes.
I’ve recently uploaded a few videos that give a more personal look at my journey — part introduction, part acknowledgment — and I wanted to say a quick hello to the Stage 32 community.
This platform feels like the right space to connect with professionals, test the waters, and slowly build the network I’ll need as I bring my long-term project, TERRA, to life. It’s something I’ve been developing for over four decades — a multi-book mythic espionage saga built on the Dune Encyclopedia timeline.
Right now, I’m using this time to showcase what I’ve been working on and to learn how best to position the series as I move toward book funding and production. When the time is right — hopefully by March — I’ll be seeking out the right team: a ghostwriter, editor, publishing partners, and potentially creative collaborators for expansion into media.
This is all part of laying the groundwork so that when I do officially launch the 13-book franchise, it won’t be from a cold start.
I’m open to publishing advice, professional recommendations, and industry insight from anyone who’s walked this path before.
Thanks for letting me introduce myself — and for creating a space where creative professionals can grow, share, and support each other. I’m looking forward to being part of this community and seeing what comes next.
Warm regards,
Mark Carter (Kate Carr)

Expand commentHi Nanbam Jeltu, I look forward to your documentaries. I am a life long fan of documentaries that started with Marlin Perkins and Wild Kingdom as a young girl. I wonder if you have heard of www.waterbear.com ? WaterBear is a free streaming platform and there are hundreds of documentaries there. They also have an app you can download for free as well. I am in the process of taking the screen reader / coverage writing training through Hollywood Gate Keepers. I was wondering how one would be a screen reader for documentaries perhaps you might have insights around these areas of film, writing, and final production? Wishing you great success with your work, you and yours have a beautiful weekend
