What story do you want to tell?
Does your game need narrative depth? Does your brand need a compelling backstory? Does your product need a cast of iconic mascots, each with its own catchphrase?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you need a story.
You can tell stories through any medium. Whether through games, prose, social media, or text on the back of a box, stories entertain and engage your audience.
What’s more, stories sell.
What can I do for you?
I’m a writer and a game designer.
For more than 20 years, I’ve melded the power of words with the joy of games. I’ve worked on board games, video games, roleplaying games, comics, and the occasional bit of straight-up fiction.
I write…
- copy that sells products,
- design documents that deliver precise instructions to those who need them,
- story bibles that define and communicate your narrative vision,
- fiction and non-fiction content that entertains and enlightens the reader, and
- anything else that needs words.
Additionally, as a designer, I do it all while focusing on clarity and usability for the end user. Whether you need technical writing, content writing, or copywriting, I’m here to help you tell your story.
What world do you want to make?
Stories sell products.
But you know what sells even better? A whole world of stories—and that’s where I come in.
I specialize in creating storyworlds that incorporate and connect multiple stories across multiple platforms.
Just imagine:
- Telling your story through a Facebook post that links to a comic book that links to a mobile app.
- Launching an epic marketing campaign by inserting stories into your product’s packaging that lead your customers to secret stories on your website… that in turn encourage them to seek out other, special products.
- Giving the secondary characters from your product their own side stories and auxiliary products.
Storyworlds let you engage your audience wherever they are, through the media they love the most.
Burning Questions
If you’ve made it this far, you’ve got a good idea of how I might be of service to you. But you might have a few questions… and I’ve got a few answers.
All this “game design” and “storyworld” stuff is neat, but I just need someone to write the thing I need written. Can you do that?
Absolutely. Even if your project doesn’t require anything beyond the words themselves, my design background will ensure that those words are clear and concise.
Could you design a game for me?
Short answer: yes. Long answer: probably, but it depends on the scale of the game in question, so let’s talk.
I have a thing that’s already written and/or designed. Would you be willing to take a look at it, give feedback, and maybe make changes if needed?
Yes. I’m here to help you tell your story. If your story is already being told, that’s great, and I’d be glad to help improve what you have in any way that I can.
