Awesome! I just added you on Discord! Cheers! :D

Hi, y'all! My name is Jon (www.jonathanfitts.com), and I'm a writer-producer who's looking to find some collaborators and expand my gaming portfolio during the quarantine. I have an MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU and six years of professional experience as the in-house author, ghostwriter, and narrative lead for a small, New York City-based book publisher. While there, I developed dozens of literary IPs and was responsible for writing proposals, outlines, treatments, books, screenplays, marketing materials, and more in a small-team environment with strict deadlines and high standards of quality. I'm a lifelong gamer with a deep passion for storytelling, and I've been looking to formally enter the gaming industry for some time now. To help facilitate that, I thought I'd offer my services as a writer to any of the devs on here in the hopes of beefing-up my gaming portfolio and finding some awesome collaborators.

I'm passionate about thoughtful, character/story-driven horror (P.T., Darkwood, Soma, Layers of Fear 1 & 2, etc.) but feel confident that I have the story chops to help on any narrative project. Maybe you just need someone to proofread a script, maybe you need some feedback on your story, maybe you need a brainstorm buddy, maybe you need a game script/story written or revised -- in any of these cases and more, I'm confident I can help. No project is too big or small.

To give an idea of my work as a writer-producer on a game, in 2014, I wrote, produced, and directed a Twine-based, choose-your-own-adventure FMV game titled Erebus (https://erebus.neocities.org/ErebusPilot.html). I'm happy to share my CV and/or an extended portfolio with more writing samples, just reach out and say hi. Since my experience is mostly in writing for the stage, screen, and page, I'm happy to offer my services for free to start with. Let's chat, and hopefully we can collaborate on some cool projects across the quarantine and beyond!

Cheers, and stay healthy & safe!
