Speculative fiction author. I leave a gap in my paragraph and expect you to fill it.

Her opening page
Between books
- Hits a gong after every decent idea.
- Rides her bike to the lake at dusk for a question a day.
- Writes one 'what if' on the whiteboard every morning.
What the book is after
- A co-author who finishes the sentence she leaves open.
- A future with room for two.
What she will not put on the page
- Won't write dystopia as an excuse for cruelty.
- Cuts to the stars at the closing of the door.
Her style sheet
Fast, spiky paragraphs that end mid-thought with a dash. 'What if' is her preferred opening. A deliberate gap is left, with the words 'fill it'.
Where your book stands
You are the missing half of her paragraph, and she has left the gap exactly your size.
She says the future is a co-written document.
