Greetings! If you are looking for simple regurgitated material please do not select me for the job. I am a professional. I do high level, top of the line writing with excellent grammar. If I am given a reasonable time-frame for completion, I'll get it done. I am also an author of many non-fiction books so I am not new to writing, rewriting, editing, and proofreading material. If I can be of value, please don't hesitate to select me. Thanks Faiza Gull

I can't believe this project! I promise you, if i could ever choose a topic to write on this would be it! I am a prolific fantasy genre reader. Raymond Feist, Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Julian May (little bit of SF in their too) I have read them all. I particular enjoyed The Wheel of Time (The only problem I found is that overtime then next book came out I would have to read ALL the previous novels!) and am currently busy with Janny Wurts' Wars of Light and Shadow. At my peak I was reading one fantasy book a week, then I had my little girl so I have had to slow down a little :) even so, one book a week, for 20 years (I discovered fantasy in primary school) its not too bad :) I can argue for hours about the best fantasy books out there! :) I am also proud to say that I managed to get all my friends to learn to enjoy reading by setting them one simple challenge. ... Read the first 4 pages of Magician - if you are actually able to put the book down after that then I will happily buy you a crappy girlie mag :) The funny thing is - I have bought a lot of playboys over the years... and then I see the guys are reading the book anyway! Anyway - mate - I promise I can keep on like this. Please consider me for this job - it has my name all over it

Hello! I'm an avid fantasy reader and writer currently writing my own fantasy novel, making me a great candidate for your project. I'm experienced in writing engaging content as a content manager and writer at a NYC-based startup but am now beginning freelancing to write content that I am personally more interested in - such as fantasy novels. My favorite fantasy novels are the Lord of the Rings series and The Kingkiller Chronicles series by Patrick Rothfuss. I'm currently reading The Mirror Empire by Kameron Hurley. I seek out and read everything from classics like LOTR to new fiction like Rothfuss's series, so I have a well-rounded background to write a variety of lists. For this project, I would start by creating outlines and brainstorming suggestions for lists for your approval and edits, before continuing with the write-up. Let me know if you need any further information. Thank you! Samantha

Hi I am an avid reader of all genre fiction but I have a particular interest in Fantasy/Horror and all point between. I recently completed a PhD in speculative fiction and frequently write for online sources on this material. I help curate and write content for The_Gothic_Imagination - the web's premier resource for scholarly and popular content on the Gothic and dark fantasy. Equally, I am very familiar with the type of list-based articles you require; I am a huge fan of cracked.com. I can approach the topics with humor or in earnest, depending on what you require. Finally, to give some idea of my reading tastes and interest in fantasy, my favourite fantasy books (and authors) are: Joe Abercrombie The Lord of the Rings (cliched, but unavoidable) David Gemmel's Drenai and Jon Shannow series, Stephen King's The Dark Tower Song of Ice and Fire (i'm a bit of a hipster about this and loved it before it was famous). Peter Brett's Demon Cycle - though these are going downhill. Cloud Atlas/The Bone Clocks Neil Gaiman - Neverwhere and American Gods Robert Jackson Bennett - Mr Shivers and American Elsewhere. I hope to hear from you, this sounds like my ideal project.

I saw your advertisement for a Best Fantasy Book Lists writer to provide highly detailed book lists for a number of different topics. I'm a native English copywriter, and one of my specialities and personal passions is writing about and researching fantasy novels. I've been an avid reader of fantasy since my early teenage years and wrote my Master's dissertation on Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. I've had experience in writing reviews of books for friends' blogs and websites, and my favourite fantasy novels, which are too numerous to list, include American Gods (Neil Gaimen), The Dark Tower series (Stephen King), Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern), Night Watch (Terry Pratchett) and The Lord of the Rings (J. R. R. Tolkien). Should we be talking? If so, please do let me know. I’d be happy to send you a couple of examples of my writing and a fee schedule. Best, Sarah Townshend
