[Writer] Looking to expand my portfolio Thread

Dear Indie DB user,

if you are reading this, it means you are in need of a writer and with 4 years of experience in the field, I would like to offer you my help.

My name is Caio Sampaio. I am a 21 years old journalism student from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I graduated from the Las Vegas Academy of Arts in 2013 and I have co-written a Portal 2 MOD (Portal 2: Abyss) and written a game that has recently been greenlit on Steam (A Step Into Darkness). My current goal is to take a Master's Degree in the United States of America, but education in the U.S. is not cheap; therefore, I will need a scholarship to fulfill my dream. In order to achieve this goal, I must develop the best resume/portfolio I possibly can.

I will graduate from college in December 2017 and I plan to apply for my Master's Degree shortly after. With this said, I would like to find a team (or more than one) to collaborate with, but considering that my time is running short, I would like to ask you to contact me only if you are certain that you will complete and release your game. Even if it is just a short and simple one.

You can check my two previous works below:
