Marcus Sloss
As a successful author in the LitRPG and fantasy genres, Marcus brings firsthand knowledge of what it takes to succeed in today’s competitive market. He handles e-book acquisitions and creative direction, ensuring every project is positioned for success from concept to launch.
I’ve traveled the world having many grand adventures of my own. Yet somehow, I found them less fruitful than a good book. For decades I was an avid reader, devouring all the science fiction and fantasy I could. A youthful boy in my spitting image stunned me when he said he wanted to write.
That was me, and I had passed it by. Not any longer. I type out the awesome twist and turns of adventuring heroes seven days a week to make up for lost time. I thrive to release my next book and seriously love what I do. If you enjoy my work, please leave a review. There is no better motivation for an author. Cheers, your adventuring partner, Marcus.
