Daniel of Longshot Press and Thinkerbeat has contacted me. He is looking for writers from the UK and Canada to work on projects.
Here is what he sent me.
As you maybe know, I have lived in Taiwan for a long time. Almost 15 years. Recently the Chinese government put a ban on Hollywood movies, due to the trade war. They also issued a new fund to build the sci-fi market. I’ve got connections (friends) in both Taiwan and China who are applying for the money. We’re also working with the copyright office to protect the stories, because the money is big enough that people will take your content, given the chance.
So here is a genuine chance to work with him on projects for the movie market in the Chinese-speaking world.
He is looking for writers with some interest in the following genres.
Artificial Intelligence.
Robots and Romance
If you think you fit the bill, please contact Daniel Scott White at this email address.

Oh dear, Pete. My mind wanders here. Are those separate subjects or is “romance and robotics” literally the combining of those two? 🙂 Then tossing in some artificial intelligence…… mmmmmm

It is a very popular genre, Doug. Maybe we are both too old for that?
Still, they have sex dolls in Japan, so it isn’t the ‘future’, but with us now. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

It has been reviewed on this blog.
Thanks, John.

I hope so, Kim. The genre is ‘tight’, but a popular theme.
Best wishes, Pete.

I might consider it…if I had the time and energy to do anything but what I’m doing, which is not what I want to do. I’d rather do a robot version of “Much Ado About Nothing.”
