Arden Ripley, written on masking tape A beast in a frock coat sweeping off his hat in a deep bow (Walter Crane, Beauty and the Beast)

Writer. Editor. Narrative consultant.

I’ve worked in indie games for over a decade, on everything from cozy farming games to psychological horror RPGs. My favorite things to write are romance (in any and all forms), complex interpersonal dynamics, and sexy necromancers.

As an editor and localizer, I strive to keep authors’ voices intact. I treat every project with the same level of care and respect it deserves, regardless of budget, studio size, or subject matter. I work alongside translators and original authors whenever possible, and I pay just as much attention to how lines should feel as I do to what they mean.

Currently available for freelance/contract writing, editing, or consulting.
