Chris Pereira’s Summary
Videogame journalist/enthusiast. Since 2001 I've been writing about videogames, from the level of poorly-made Tripod websites on up to Ziff Davis Media publications. With this experience, I've been able to develop solid writing and editing skills, in addition to a grasp of HTML and the technical side of the web, working with public relations reps, managing staffs, and planning editorial content.
My goals for the future are simple: to write about videogames in new and interesting ways that will keep readers compelled. (Or at least laughing.)
Chris Pereira’s Specialties:
Writing; editing; planning editorial content; envisioning and developing websites, website features, and website launches; training staff; reciting lines from episodes of The X-Files and The Office
