Jason Coles
I started writing for volunteer sites in 2018 before progressing into full-time freelancing in 2019 doing guides, reviews, and features for sites like Eurogamer, Gamesradar, PCGamesN, PC Gamer, and many others.
At the beginning of 2020, I then became editor of The Indie Game Website, where I remained alongside my other freelance duties until April 2021. During my time at the head of the site traffic went up over 40%, and I brought in new writers to the industry, many of whom have since found work elsewhere too.
I also started as a News Writer at Stealth Optional, before getting promoted to Senior News Editor there, which then led to me being moved onto MTG Rocks as the Editor and SEO Strategist. This is my main role at this point, but I still do a lot of freelance on top of it at a plethora of different sites. During this time I even managed to win an award from Good Games Writing in the Game Dev category for my piece on how the games industry is for the working class.
I still feel as though I've got a lot to learn about the industry, and I'm always seeking new sites to write for and have also started Word Count Mentoring to try and help more new voices find their way into games media.
