About

Michael-Israel Jarvis

Have written a fantasy/young-adult fiction novel of about 123,000 words length. Comparable with the Old Kingdom Saga by Garth Nix, or Christopher Paolini's Inheritance cycle, only with less dragons.

With some help have designed the book all the way to a printing run undertaken at the expense of friends - not a commercial attempt at self-publishing, but merely a way for me to get the solid book in my hands, and for my friends to read it.

I'm also a member of deviantart.com, the artist community. I have a modest but faithful following there, for a few different narratives - the most popular being a fantasy entitled Gravedigger.

Earnestly seeking representation.
