Another book draft goes off into the world….
Last spring, I conducted twenty long-form interviews with twenty-five amazing queer indie game devs for my book project The Queer Games Avant-Garde: How LGBTQ Game-Makers Are Reimagining the Medium of Video Games. Now, many months later, after hours of transcription (thanks to my wonderful research assistants) and editing, and after writing a hefty introduction, the full book manuscript is ready to send off to my editor at Duke University Press, where the project is under official consideration.
And so the wait begins for review. Dear academic gods, may my reviewers be honest but kind, and may they dig the idea of a book composed of voices from amazing queer folks doing radical digital media work.
Thanks so much to all the wonderful queer indie game-makers who took part in interviews with me. Here’s the full list of interviewees (in the order they appear in the book), to get you excited for when The Queer Games Avant-Garde makes it to shelves, hopefully sometime in late 2019…
