Nottingham, England, United Kingdom

Background Writer (Narrative Designer) for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, the world's most renowned fantasy tabletop game. I write the narrative sections of rulebooks, design new characters and settings, name products, develop our IP and occasionally ensure that third party developers (particularly for Soulbound, our tabletop RPG) maintain the IP's integrity. I also professionally peer review the work of other writers (internal and external). This includes world building, designer's notes, fiction, creative nonfiction and the occasional spoken word script for Warhammer TV.

I created content for the Warhammer Beginners Programmes, including Warhammer Alliance and related areas. I also wrote regular articles for Warhammer Community and occasionally scheduled posts for their social media when the relevant writers were out of office. During this time I published two packages for schools, a 52-page activity book designed for official use by the Duke of Edinburgh Award and Scouts programmes, and the Battle Honours programme which has attracted hundreds of new customers. I also helped cover the launch of Warhammer Age of Sigmar's 3rd edition via online marketing.
