The Video Game Writer's Guide to Surviving an Industry That Hates You (CRC Press)
Friday, 10 October 2025

This book is a guide to identifying, approaching, and triumphing over tasks beyond just laying down words as well as finding the power and joy in writing for video games. Richard Dansky looks at how to navigate the choppy waters of building schedules, interfacing with other team members, getting actionable feedback, and putting yourself in a position to do your best work without killing yourself.

<ASIN:1032972610>

 By turns humorous, horrifying, and hopeful, this is a user’s manual to a role that is frequently misunderstood and underappreciated. Drawing on over two decades’ experience in the game writing trenches, Richard Dansky takes you on a journey through the things you must know in order to survive and thrive as a game writer.
