Sean McKeever's Cirriculum Vitae (CV)

At heart, I love to write about interesting characters and communicate something authentic about them – whether that's through the pace, dialogue, and panel choices in a comic book; or through the branching conversations and quest design of a video game that leaves players feeling moved, immersed, and entertained. I've been writing professionally since 1995, with credits across Marvel, DC, BioWare, Archetype Entertainment, and more.
