Kit Taylor

game writer & narrative designer

Kit: Storyteller, Adventurer, Gamer

I am a creative and energetic writer looking for work in the gaming industry! My passion for narrative is supported by my education, with an MA in Irish folklore and ethnology and a BA in linguistics. I have a wealth of experience in the outdoor recreation industry, from raft guiding to wilderness therapy, which has honed my problem-solving skills and adaptability.My dream is to infuse narrative with my life experiences. Fantasy RPGs are my sweet spot, combining the spirit of adventure with rich lore and history, accentuated by the magic of creativity and imagination. As a queer person, I am a champion for diversity in games. I am currently working on a game inspired by the Irish and Scottish folklore of selkies, reinterpreting the seal wife tale into a story of empowerment and queer love.I also play in an ukulele band, love sea swimming, and collect silver rings!


Writing Samples

I have been writing for as long as I can remember, from youthful tales of talking cats to my more recent academic and gaming work. I often say I even create fictional worlds in my sleep, which is no joke given that I am a vivid dreamer and will sometimes wake with urgency to write down everything that transpires in my sleeping mind. Here is a link to a folder containing many samples of the kinds of writing I excel at!
