About

Hi, I’m Richard Rosenbaum, a passionate writer and narratologist with a PhD in Communication and Culture. I specialize in exploring how consciousness and narrative intertwine, and I enjoy crafting compelling stories for various media, including videogames and scholarly articles. Over the years, I’ve worked in academia, marketing, and creative publishing, always striving to blend theory with practice.

I love connecting with others about the art and science of storytelling, whether through teaching, writing, or innovative projects involving AI and interactive narratives. When I’m not writing or researching, you might find me editing fiction or contributing to literary magazines.
