Hi, I wish to apply to write a book on FANTASY SPORTS.
I am a twenty seven year old South African, living in Johannesburg having just returned to the country after spending the first part of the year travelling in South America. I am a qualified attorney, am a fluent English speaker and have lengthy experience writing in English; whether it be professionally or in my spare time.
More importantly perhaps, I am a sports maniac. I managed a rugby blog which can be found at www.rerugby.blogspot.com. From a fantasy sports perspective, I have been a regular participant of the Super Rugby, Rugby, World Cup and English Premier League fantasy competitions for a number of years. Whilst I do so primarily for enjoyment, it gives me an opportunity to test my knowledge and strategic expertise against the best in the world. I might go as far as to say that the highlight of my 2011 was, after the quarter final round of the Rugby World Cup, I was sitting pretty at the top of the world standings on the fantasy site www.testrugby.com. Although I finished 7th in the world, I somehow managed to finish 2nd in my division, which point I haven't been allowed to forget.
Further examples of my writing can be found at www.southamericaconleche.wordpress.com.
From a professional standpoint, I am an extremely diligent and reliable individual, used to completing tough tasks to deadline.
