Consider This
Why risk your studio’s high-profile project on a freelancer with no experience writing for games?
This medium demands experts who know all its quirks and qualities. Brunette Games team members have formal training as writers and/or years of deep experience in game design.
Why spend resources on full-time staff when all you need is a portion of someone’s time each week?
Our clients leverage our team’s expertise for high-impact narrative, on a budget.
Why risk burnout?
Our writers work on multiple games at a time, so they're wordsmiths and talents who never get tired of the grind on one game.
