Contact

I am currently welcoming outreach about new narrative roles in III to AAA games with a strong story component, as a senior writer, narrative designer or narrative lead. Do reach out if you’d like to chat about that, or see my portfolio. I also have 5 years’ experience as a Creative Director, and extensive production experience.

Before you contact me with requests for volunteer work, please consider that I am just one person, with a very busy life, doing my best, and already supporting a lot of mentees, teaching, speaking, and advocacy.

I cannot respond to queries from students who are looking for quotes or interviews for their work.

I usually cannot mentor people from cold outreach, I already give a lot of time to mentoring and developing new talent in the field of games, and also try and focus my time on high impact (i.e. larger groups; speaking and teaching) and particularly on folks marginalised in games (neurodiverse, disabled, working class, people of colour, women and gender marginalised folks, LGBTQ+ folks, folks from non-traditional game dev countries). If you are in the latter number of categories and I can’t mentor you I will usually try and find someone who can chat to you.

I almost always cannot have a coffee ‘just to see what comes up’. I’m sorry, I don’t have time for speculative collaborations or people using ‘coffee’ to mean ‘unpaid consultation’.

I am usually interested in speaking or teaching opportunities if I have capacity, and they are reasonably compensated.

All said, please write to contact [at] hannahnicklin.com if you need to contact me.
