ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Scott MacDonald, and I'm a writer, developmental editor, and avid gamer. My interests include visual novels, interactive fiction, video games, storytelling, and narratives in any and all forms.
​
I am an alumnus of the University of Idaho, where I earned a bachelor's degree in journalism, and also Portland State University, where I received a master's degree in writing/book publishing. I focused on editing, particularly developmental editing, during my time in the master's program.
​
The creation, refinement, and expression of narratives in our digital culture is of particular interest to me. To that end, I'm working to become a professional developmental editor for both traditional and digital narratives.
