From the Game Writng group on LinkedIn: Kabam, a social games developer in Redwood Shores and San Francisco, has posted a contract job listing for a Game Writer. It sounds like a pretty great gig: the Game Writer creates the stories behind games, and brings NPCs to life through scripted dialogue.

 

Among the requirements: 3-5 years professional creative writing experience; a portfolio that displays the ability to write scripted dialogue and prose; knowledge of fantasy, SF and military genres; and experience proofreading and editing content. Oh yeah: being an avid gamer is a plus, as is a background in writing ad and marketing copy. Details here.
