Freelance Writer/Editor – Available for Your Project

Apr 17, 2025

Since the late 80s I’ve written and edited fiction and nonfiction, game rules, technical manuals, user guides, tech journalism, literary theory, game theory and entertainment reviews, with a focus on science fiction, games, and interactive media. I was Senior Editor of a nationally-distributed magazine called “PIX-Elation” in the 90s, and am currently curating and editing UbiquiCity; a science fiction anthology and system-agnostic GM’s sourcebook. Looking for a freelance writer or editor? Contact me here and we’ll discuss your project.
