Clients

I've worked with some amazing clients, including:
About

I provide story development and scriptwriting services to game studios and their publishers.

Titles in my portfolio have generated over a billion dollars in sales.

I’ve worked with some of the best studios and designers in the country, and contributed to award-winning, groundbreaking titles.

I’ve turned that experience into a set of practices that can help any team.
Writing

I can help you bring your story to life. Here's how I work.

Heavy Lifting

I provide a full range of storytelling services for our clients. I start with your game's world, and continue through character development and narrative design, all the way to the final line of dialog. I can work independently or alongside your team's writing talent to help bring your story to life.

Firefighting

It's every developer's nightmare -- your advance reviewers tear your story apart, the testers hate your characters, your plot doesn’t integrate with your levels, and the dialog is a disaster.

Are you doomed?

Of course not!

I have come onto projects late in development - as late as content lock - and helped the team correct course. If you're facing a storytelling challenge, I can help.

Expert Services

If the goal is to earn a Metacritic score of 90+, your game will have to have a great story. And it won’t be told by just one person – everybody on the team will play a part. I lead brainstorming sessions, provide story reviews, develop IP, and run game-writing workshops. I work with studios to help turn game developers into storytellers.
Speaking

I offer presentations, seminars, and workshops worldwide
