Video games are the largest category in the entertainment industry with revenues that far exceed those of both the film and music industries. This year, the gaming industry is expected to generate more than $170 billion in global revenues, five times greater than global movie box office revenues. But did you know, just like Film and TV, video games have writers? And those writers aren’t just the designers themselves. Video game writing requires the same world-building and narrative skill sets that screenwriting requires…with a few additional twists. However, what are the tools you need to successfully build a career writing video games and how do you get your foot in the door to get started?

In this exclusive and comprehensive Stage 32 4-part class, you will learn how to write for video games, the difference between writing for games vs. Film/TV, navigating the video game industry, and most importantly, how to get your foot in the door to start your career in this lucrative and exciting field. As a writer, it’s crucial for you to have your hands in as many creative mediums as you can, ensuring that you’re always working, getting paid, and keeping your creative muscles honed.

Teaching you everything you need to know about the craft and business of writing for video games is Andrew Henderson, a working Video Game writer who is one of the writers on the new AAA-game studio game THAT'S NO MOON. Andrew also works as a writer and producer for film and television.

His 2014 Sci-Fi/Thriller film, FLASHES, featuring Tom Sizemore and Christopher Judge, is currently streaming on Amazon Prime and Tubi.

Over 4 interactive sessions, Andrew will take you behind the scenes of the video game industry and will guide you through the process of figuring out whether or not video game writing is for you, finding a way into the complex industry, and once in, what you can expect once you’re actually writing on a game, and how to write actual games.
