Mark and Brandon discuss the benefits and challenges of writing in an IP-licensed universe, where authors play with game makers' toys in a sandbox setting; vs creating an original world where the author is the creator of everything from geology to religion to trade and so forth! Mark shares his viewpoint of writing within several game settings, while Brandon talks about the editorial and management side of those deals.

About Us
Owned and operated by Vincent Rospond, Winged Hussar Publishing formed in 2012 with the goal of publishing enjoyable and well-written reading material for anyone of any age. Having worked in publishing since the 80’s, Vince has utilized his knowledge in the field to establish a catalogue of works from all time periods and genres - history, fantasy, science-fiction, children’s, and wargaming. Our primary focuses are publishing military history and source documents with an eastern European flair, as well as providing narrative and painting guides for tabletop gamers - however, through our various projects, our range has expanded to be more inclusive. Over the years, we’ve established contracts to publish works for imprints such as Triglav and Nafziger Books, as well as produce novels for game companies such as Mantic Games and Corvus Belli.
We provide ebooks, paperbacks, and numbered limited run of hardcovers for most of our publications.
You can buy our books at most retailers and distributors in the US/UK and OZ, or just click on our shop page and buy directly from us. We also attend HMGS conventions in the northeast, as well as make regular yearly appearances at Adepticon. If you’re ever at the shows, stop by and chat. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on all of our news.
