Marti McKenna

Developer BIO

Marti McKenna began in the game industry in 1987 and has written and edited on a variety of projects for Sierra On-Line, Electronic Arts, ImagiNation Network, Sony, RealNetworks, and other companies before leaving the security of a day job for the freefall sensation of running a publishing company.

Marti has had two of her short stories published, and is currently working on an epic contemporary fantasy. Her short fiction has appeared in Tomorrow SF and the anthology More Amazing Stories. She is also the mother of the lovely and talented Jessie McKenna and the delightful Payge Marie Cheesman, and the proud owner of two weasels and a dingo.

She currently works for ArenaNet as a writer/editor.
