Layoff from Wizards

I was one of the people laid of during the Hasbro layoff this week. I have a giant ball of emotions right now. I haven’t figured out my next steps yet. If you know of an opportunity that might be a good fit for me, please let me know. I am open for freelance (or full-time) design, editing, fiction, and inclusivity reviews. If it combines RPGs with education, accessibility, or inclusivity, that’s also cool.

In terms of my experience and qualifications, I’ve written and/or edited:

• 120+ books
• 100+ magazine articles and blog posts
• 3 new roleplaying games
• 15 textbooks
• 1 novel
• 2 novellas
• 8 short stories
• 6 board games
• 3 card games

As a publisher, I’ve shephered the following from proposal to release:

• 1600 study guides in web, print, and Kindle
• 3000 animated videos
• 80 audiobooks.
• 2 digital textbook alternatives

I also have the following experiences:

• Teacher: English, history, ESL (4 years in USA, Poland, & S. Korea)
• In-house editor and publisher: 16 years at levels ranging from associate editor to editorial director to publishing program manager
• Inclusivity reviewer: broad generalist with specific expertise and lived experience with world religions, Jewish culture, the queer community, disability, mental health, neurodiversity, learning disabilities, accessibility, education, and English language learners.
