Writers Wanted for Super Nintendo Book

[8bitgamer]

Hey, Super Nintendo fans, I'm looking for brief personal stories from industry folks about specific SNES games. By industry folks, I have a loose definition meaning past or present video game reviewers, authors, bloggers, programmers, retailers, convention exhibitors, YouTubers, etc.

No compensation is involved, but your story or stories with your byline will be published in my forthcoming hardcover coffee table Super Nintendo book, which will be out early next year (I'm Brett Weiss, author of eight books). Review content is fine, but I'm primarily wanting stories with a personal slant: memories playing the game with friends, memories purchasing the game, memories beating the game, special hate for a game, getting the game for Christmas, etc. Below is a list of games that have already been reserved. If you see any U.S. releases for the SNES that are NOT on the list you’d like to write about, let me know via email: brettw105 [AT] sbcglobal.net. Also, in your message let me know what role you play (or played) in the industry, and I will send more info. THANKS!!

This looks to be a fantastic book in the making, but discovering that Kieren Hawken (Kizza/The Liard) being involved I would have to decline in purchasing this book as this person has no idea of the Snes in any compacity for this machine, its era or its history, or even played any majority of the games on the Super Nintendo as Kieren is a die hard Mega drive fanboy and simply claiming to write for Retro Gamer magazine or Fusion Books doesn't make him the man for the job in this case on this subject matter. I know the book has been finished and I congratulate you on your work and personally would have loved to get this, but with Kieren Hawkens seeded past, I would have to decline here, looks like I'll be getting the SNES compendium by bitmap books instead ...sorry Brett.

<deleted post, I don't know, or care, or want to know what grievances you guys have with people who want to write little essays about 25yo video games>

[VectorGamer]

You could also make the case for boycotting this book since a certain troll/SJW contributed to it. Can't believe people are still enlisting her services...

[Greyfox]

Sorry to follow you off topic, but what's the deal with this character? I've seen him mentioned elsewhere, but don't know the details.

 

If you search "The Laird" , "Kizza" here on the forum you'll see what his past and present carry on was, I dealt with him about 4 years ago and having being trying to escape the his stigma for a very long time with his personal slander of my products and slanderous interference with clients and colleagues via social media etc. and then draws the victim card and I've always allow actions speak louder than words with my work and retro scene productions. So I was horrified to hear that he was commissioned by Brett to contribute to a system that will not be sincrere to this time frame and era. I wish no disrespect to Brett and he's a hell of a guy and loved all his books, but I can't get this.

[+Sauron]

It's amazing to me that people are still being fooled as the con artist known as Kizza. Seriously, do people not check out the histories of those they collaborate with??

[+CyranoJ]

This looks to be a fantastic book in the making, but discovering that Kieren Hawken (Kizza/The Liard) being involved I would have to decline in purchasing this book as this person has no idea.

 

FTFY.

 

Automatic NOPE with the purchase. Get some real authors.

[8bitgamer]

If you guys have a personal beef with Kieren Hawken (Kizza/The Liard), no worries. He's but one of many contributors, and he contributed just a few stories (and they are good). There are numerous industry insiders who contributed stories to the book, including legendary programmers like Steve Woita and David Warhol, magazine veterans like Martin Alessi and Greg Sewart, professional authors like Tim Lapetino and Rusel DeMaria, and on and on.
