PARADIGM SHIFT THRILLERS

Welcome to Leonardo Wild's Home Page

After a profesional writing career of over twenty years, I learned a lot about the business of writing and publishing. One of them is that if you are not careful you can end up living in a jail of your own making.

In order to make a living as a writer, you should be writing in a genre, and if you are successful, you will be expected to continue writing in the same category.

Also, I had to come up with ideas that resounded in society, thus subject matters for each novel had to be "high concept."

Simple to understand, yet with stakes that couldn't be higher: the Big Topics of our world.

And so I came up with my own subgenre:

PARADIGM SHIFT THRILLERS.

As a writer, though, I wanted to be free. So I set myself to look into this dilemma. And after ten years, I realized what I had to do.

First of all, I had to create my own subgenre, rather than try to fit into someone else´s. I had been exploring various literary genres, and found that the subject matter I wanted to write about would be best explored in the thriller category.

Then, I concluded, the rules of my subcategory had to force me to write a different novel every time rather finding myself forced to push out a similar one with every new installment.
