I'm Dashiell Wood,
 journalist.

I make headlines. Literally.

I have written hundreds of articles for a range of bestselling national magazines including PLAY, PC Gamer, SFX, and Edge. I excel at working closely with developers to create stunning interview-led features that explore the creative process behind some of the most popular games. I have also delivered detailed news reports, in-depth previews, coverage of live events, and insightful product reviews.
