Editors, if you’re crying out for expertise in these games (which from experience is hard to come by!) then Ana is well worth reaching out to:

Ana Diaz @pokachee.bsky.social · Jul 16

Because I'm on the freelance grind now, I have to put it out there: I'm wrapping up my first post-Polygon project under NDA and am open to more work in consulting and freelance writing. I'm an expert in super-popular online multiplayer games and platforms like Fortnite, Genshin Impact, and Roblox.
