Angel McCoy

A corn-fed child originally from the Midwest, Angel Leigh McCoy grew up delving into fantasy and horror novels to escape the doldrums of long, hot summers. She won her first essay contest in 6th grade and has been writing ever since. As time passed, she studied French Literature at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana and rediscovered the attractions of myth and magic. Evolution happened. She traveled. She learned. Gaming became a part of her life. Over the years, she has designed RPG material for companies such as White Wolf, Wizards of the Coast, FASA, and Pinnacle Entertainment Group. She worked for Microsoft Game Studios, writing articles as Xbox.com correspondent Wireless Angel. Currently, she is a game developer at ArenaNet, where she is part of a vast team effort to make the coolest MMORPG ever: Guild Wars 2.
