About Us
 

The Writers Cabal believes that each game presents a unique opportunity to tell a story.  Rather than churning out interchangable stories and dialog, we conspire with our clients to identify that unique opportunity to deliver custom content.  Our only magic is our passion.  Our only formula for success is good writing.  The only missing ingredient is you.

 What others are saying
 
“Sande has been an inspiration. A bottomless well of energy and drive. A lady who loves games, loves the industry, and will move heaven and earth to make a project succeed. She has been a incredible asset to me, as a friend, advisor, and colleague. With Sande in your project's corner, you can't go wrong.”
