Okay, my turn again!

Do you need a narrative designer or game writer? Lucky you, because I need a job! Iโ€™ve led narrative teams and worked on some of your favorite franchises! Based in LA and not looking to relocate, but happy to travel! Open to full time or contract!

Hey Bioware folks, terribly sorry to hear the news of more layoffs in this industry.

We don't have a ton of open positions at Bungie, but if you happen to see anything listed here please feel free to reach out.

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities.
I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy.

Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school:

Hello, Iโ€™m Mary, and no one will want to read my writing because its attempt to break through intellectual arguments with raw emotion โ€œfeels like a woman thingโ€

(Why yes it was a 50+ dude professor why do you ask)

Helpful and realistic thread about getting a job in game narrative.

I'll add that the past few years' layoffs + AI overhype have hit writers especially hard. Getting a writing job was always competitive; now it's absurdly hard. If you can't find work right away, it's not you.
