Writing for games magazines

[Mayhem]

Most of it sadly went uncredited (though not unpaid) and after all this time, I can't remember exactly what I wrote! It was mainly Japanese related material in the very early issues (first year I believe) until they got a dedicated Japanese correspondant I think (or Matt Bielby moved on). There's a few little pieces of me in Superplay

The one thing I do know for sure I did (cos my name is on it) is a guide for one of the Ranma games...

Practice, practice, practice!! I'm nothing more than a "casual gamerwriter", doing games stuff for fun, but have had a bit of luck with non-gaming magazines. Getting used to writing articles suitable for publication can only be a good thing, and websites such as this [Way of the Rodent is another good one] are an ideal supportive atmosphere in which to find your voice. Try out ideas online and get your words out there, as it all helps in being self-critical when you come to submitting for print.

And GOOD LUCK!
