A community for editorial professionals in the game industry

Whether we're called game editors, script editors, dialogue editors, copyeditors, narrative editors, story editors, narrative consultants, story consultants, dialogue designers, VO designers, producers, localizers, translators, narrative QA, LQA, or any number of other titles, we play a vital part in game development. 

When we do our jobs well, our work is nigh unnoticeable. The dizzying variety of our roles and titles obscures what we have in common and makes finding community a challenge. Search for "game editor" and you get pages of game-making software. We have a visibility problem!

There are plenty of communities for editors and freelancers across disciplines, and plenty for verbally-oriented folks in games that cater to writers and narrative designers or to localization specialists. What we need is a place of our own.

The Game Editorial Network (GEN) is that place.

GEN is a networking group and professional development resource for the particular intersection of editors and editorial support pros of all stripes working in the game industry. 

We're inclusive of all types of games, digital and non-digital. GEN is for anyone with an interest in the broad umbrella of editorial professions in games, whether you're traditionally employed, freelance or self-employed, between gigs, changing careers, a student or an aspiring professional. Whether or not you've ever called yourself an "editor." Welcome!
