Oren Ashkenazi

Oren Ashkenazi grew up in Hawaii, where he annoyed his parents by constantly thinking up ways that the latest Star Trek episode could have happened differently. It wasn't until embarrassingly late in his teens that he discovered science fiction's agical cousin, fantasy, but it was love at first sight once he did. Novels, video games, tabletop roleplaying games, there was no limit to the stories of swords and dragons that he would consume.

After college, Oren was approached to be part of Mythcreants. Since he had media opinions aplenty, it was an easy fit! Soon, he wasn't just writing articles, he was also working with clients as a content editor. At least, all those hours spent revising Star Trek episodes would come in handy! As an editor, Oren focuses on helping authors figure out what kind of story they want to tell, and then focusing on how best to do this. The common refrain is "your story can be about anything, but it can't be about everything."

When Oren isn't writing for Mythcreants or working on a client manuscript, he likes to run roleplaying campaigns, design roleplaying systems, and work on his own stories.
