Some Stuff I Wrote
Shawn French
Writer and editor of games, comics, and other such things.
United States
During my 30-year run as a writer and editor, I tried a bit of everything before finally finding my home in the glorious madness of narrative design.
I've paid the bills as a comedy writer (stand-up, sketch, radio) and newspaper editor. I wrote a comic-book series endorsed by Clive Barker and edited 125+ others, including a whole lot of books for Scout Comics' Black Caravan imprint. I wrote/directed the horror movie THE WRONG HOUSE and played monsters in several other films. For the video game EPIC TAVERN, I created hundreds of quests, 160 unique hero backstories, and did extensive world-building. For MURDER ON THE MIDWAY (which I also code), I designed dialogue trees and created a fully-functioning traveling carnival loaded with dozens of memorable characters.
Some recent audio fiction projects for Realm.fm include the 10-episode werewolf series BLOOD FOREST, the standalone audio ghost story RETURN TO BLACKOUT POINT, and miniseries THE PULSE and LAST CALL, all available by searching for UNDERTOW wherever you get your podcasts.
I thrive on complexity, I have a quiet, dedicated home office deep in the Maine wilderness and impeccable references as a remote writer. It is my firm belief that having worked in damn-near every storytelling medium in existence has prepared me to handle anything a project throws at me.
