Want to dive into working in games, but not sure where to start? While it may take a bit of searching, there are opportunities out there for those that want to start an RPG or video game writing career.
Leveling Up
To start your RPG journey, it may be a good idea to collaborate with friends, or write and release some things yourself. After you’ve built up experience, put together a portfolio website and a CV of your projects.
If you want to build up experience without taking on huge projects, try a freelancing website like Upwork. They currently have a diverse offering of RPG related jobs (from video games to art work). Maintaining a good score and reputation on websites like these show employers you can meet deadlines.
