Writing for Video Games Competition

To celebrate six years as a freelance writer and game designer, I’m giving away signed copies of my book, Writing for Video Games, to the two lucky winners of this new competition.  Four Runners-up will receive key codes to the arcade adventure game, Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso.

Although I have more than 17 years of development experience, the six years as a freelancer has enabled me to work on a wide variety of projects and with a large range of clients from the US and across Europe.  I hope you will help me celebrate by entering the competition.

To enter, simply answer the three questions below and send your answers in an e-mail to competition@steve-ince.co.uk with the subject heading, “Writing for Video Games Competition”.
