- It can take a while but don't lose all hope. Before I got a job writing for Larian I was a month away from giving up on writing entirely and made serious plans to become a dog hair cutter. Anything could pop up at any time.

- Oh yeah, and those PR contacts? Ask them if they need pre-release reviews of those games they're making. Studios often want people with a finger on the pulse of games to review titles that are still in development and provide SWOT analysis.

- Speak to game consultancy companies. There are a bunch of them out there looking for people who can play games with an analytical mind. If you want names ping me.

- Reach out to every games PR contact you've got and pitch yourself for their Publishing/Communications department. You have been doing a similar job at a lower salary for years and you are likely already a more experienced writer than anyone they currently have.

- Look beyond games media. There is a world of media out there that need staff with an understanding of games, outside of games.
