What I’m looking for:
I’m seeking a thoughtful, expressive actor to portray a character from my novel Days on Instagram. The character — Helen Verity Jansen — is the novel’s emotional center. She’s private, perceptive, and learns to stand in the light even when it burns. The role would start small, but there’s room to grow.

The basics:
At minimum, I’m asking for 5–10 casual, selfie-style photos — moments that feel lived-in, not posed. Think: shopping at a garden center for a bonsai tree. Helen doesn’t perform for the camera. She lets people see what’s already there.

The potential:
If the right person is interested, I’d love to explore a deeper collaboration — where the actor helps shape Helen’s portrayal online, as long as the arc stays emotionally grounded and true to the story’s end.

What you get:

• Full permission to use non-spoiler scenes from Days for your highlight reel

• Consultant credit in the novel’s acknowledgments (for extended collaboration)

• A negotiable percentage of net profit if the collaboration becomes significant

All terms would be agreed upon in writing before work begins.

If the role speaks to you, I’d love to talk.
