The Overlap of Games and Books

Monday, March 19, 2018 by Sabrina Ricci

Games and books have a lot in common, especially when it comes to the publishing process. There's also a lot of cool overlap. After all, most games have full narrative stories. And those stories are written by professional writers. Now, game writers can win a Nebula award, from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, according to GeekWire. Games are great for … [Read more...] about The Overlap of Games and Books

Games and books have a lot in common. They can be tools for learning, as well as avenues for entertainment (See the game/app Zombies, Run! for an example of a game that also motivates people to stay active). They can be physical and digital. And sometimes the lines between them can even be blurred.

5 Ways Gaming Can Help Indie Authors Increase Sales

Wednesday, November 20, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci
