Mary Kenney is a brilliant writer of video games and comic books from The Walking Dead to the recent smash hit PS5 game, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. She is currently working on a new Wolverine game for Marvel and Sony. She also has Gamer Girls, a YA non-fiction novel about the women who built the video games industry, coming out in July 2022.
We loved chatting with Mary, hearing how she broke into writing for video games, talking about the unique opportunities and challenges that writing in that field covers, hearing about what it’s like writing such iconic characters - and also getting some fun and interesting insight into the steps needed for all that voice-acting you hear in your favourite games!
