Hi, I’m Sydney King. I’m a senior writer and narrative designer with a passion for crafting immersive stories for global franchises. I’ve led the narrative development for Blizzard’s IPs, co-authored Hogwarts Legacy’s main story, and shaped marketing and promotional content across games and trans-media. I've developed narratives through every step of the process - from pitch to outline to publication - for cinematics, in-game writing, and prose. In addition to my creative writing work, I have experience as an editor for both line and conceptual editing, collaborating with authors, artists, and publishers to deliver quality content for the Blizzard Books team. I also have social media marketing experience, including writing marketing copy and managing review sites for clients.
