WRITING DEPARTMENT APPLICATION
The Fallout: Miami Writing Department handles all narrative aspects of the game. This involves creating dialogue, lore, characters, notes, terminals, etc. The writing department also encompases certain aspects of quest design. We work closely with the programming department in order to create a fun experience with various avenues of completion.
WRITING DETAILS
While the writing department requires creativity, it also requires a good amount of technical knowledge and familiarity with writing for an interactive medium.
Requirements:
- Examples of prose and novel style writing samples are welcome, but samples that show a grasp on dialogue, such as a script are preferred.

Additional valuable skills include experience with Bethesda’s Creation Kit, especially implementing dialogue. Editing a wiki. Ownership of Fallout 4 and all its official DLC on PC.

It is our goal to create a world that is fun and engaging, and also feels authentic and true to the cultures represented.
