Hello! I’m Franco. I write about and create adventures for tabletop role-playing games and occasionally cohost a podcast about TTRPGs.

I have worked in publishing for over 15 years, primarily in book design and ebook design and development. I also teach publishing classes at the university level. Currently, I work as the designer and art director for Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Asimov’s Science Fiction, and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.

Do you need a layout designer? Do you need an editor? Contact me! You can also check out my portfolio on my professional website.
