I recently launched a website with short stories to showcase my writing style to Blizzard. My dream is to join their story telling team. I’ve spent the last ten years building a variety of samples from publications in Forbes to directing company promos and more. Anyone here able to introduce me to their team and help me along this journey?
So firstly they don't have a story telling team. There are writers on each game team and over at cinematics on different projects. While I'm sure they communicate in general, there is in fact not one hive mind that pumps out all lore/story/dialogue across all teams. Was there a game team in particular you were interested in joining?
Hey, thanks for relying. I’d love to connect w the Diablo and/ or WOW. With that said, that’d be a perfect world kind of deal, I’m 100% open to any of them. The samples I’ve put on my site, to e wise are more “dark-ish” so I think Diablo or WOW would appreciate it a bit more. Any thoughts?
Know where you want to go. "I just want to write someplace!" isn't good enough. Know what you want and work for it. Write pieces that would fit at home in diablo or whatever. . I'm not a writer so I don't know what that looks like, sorry. Are you interested in quest design? Cinematics writing? In Game writing? There are writers for all the web content too. My advice would be to apply. Gotta start somewhere. Just know that "I want to write stuff for video games" is really broad. If you don't have any game experience, I might suggest looking at smaller companies first. Hone your skills, get some game industry experience, sharpen your claws so to speak and then try for a bigger company. If you think you have that experience already, then start applying.
