Insider tip
Trying to create a comedy game through dialogue or regular one-liners when the gameplay takes itself too seriously is likely to give the player the feeling of a game at odds with itself. Writing for Video Games by Steve Ince

About me

I am an editorial consultant and a guest blogger here on the Writers' & Artists' website. I write about how to maximise your chances of having your work looked at, and like to keep you all up to date with all sorts of industry insider info and advice.

I enjoy reading pretty much everything - from bite lit (the recent resurgence in vampire love stories) to classics, from crime novels (very good for unwinding) to literary fiction. The new popular science strand of non-fiction is also interesting, and I enjoy biographies and political diaries. Basically, reading is like eating for me - essential, daily, and I manage a very varied diet!

I always like to hear from members of the community at the Writers' & Artists' Yearbook. If you’d like to leave a comment on one of my blog posts< or get in touch with me via the contact box below, I will try to address the most popular queries in a future blog post.
