The Gamebook Renaissance

There’s a bit of a gamebook renaissance going on right now. Independent authors are making the most of print-on-demand services to affordably publish their work and a steadily-increasing range of new gamebooks are being offered to the interactive reader.

As an independent gamebook author, I’m part of a loose group called the Gamebook Author’s Guild. So let me introduce you to some of the others in the guild: perhaps you’ll find something else to your taste.
