It's been such a joy watching playtesters react the various layers of her writing from the heartfelt moments, to rage-inducing Hermes, and all the puns and jokes along the way! And I cannot express how grateful I am at how much she taught me about writing from structure to theme to even dialog.

I think Lara was actually the first person I ever told about the project. We chatted after an event and as total strangers, but I felt comfortable enough to tell her about my random game idea. Almost a decade later, I found her business card and we got to work together on it!

Lara (
@larabarbier.bsky.social
) has wrapped up all of her writing and editing work for Mythmatch! She was so patient writing treatment after treatment and draft after draft to find a story about belonging and rejection that fit perfectly with the merge mechanics of the game.

Next time someone in the industry says nobodyβs interested in stories about mature strong women stick them in front of
#RiotWomen
. Itβs struck a chord with the public because itβs so relatable. Hey, half the population are female and the menopause will come to all of them. Sally Wainwright aces it.
