Writing for your game? Sorted.
Hi! My name is Jo and I write, design, and translate video games, books, and interactive media. With more than 5 years experience in narrative and game development and a fair few titles under my belt, I can help you bring your game world to life, create an engaging story, and maybe even convince players to not press the dialogue skip button.
