"This book, written and edited by members of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) Game Writing Special Interest Group, focuses on the essentials of working as a professional game writer, including how to break in, writing manuals, narrative design, writing in a team, working as a freelancer, working with new intellectual property, and more. The contributors, all expert game writers working in the trenches day in and day out, describe the basic components of the job of a game writer, explain what works and what doesn't, and offer valuable, practical tips and techniques that you can put to use right away."--BOOK JACKET.
