Ben Gelinas

I am an editor and writer currently based in Edmonton, a sprawling provincial capital in the frigid wastes of the Canadian prairies.

For a handful of years, I worked as a crime reporter here. During my time at the Edmonton Journal, I covered hostage takings, stage collapses, infanticides, house explosions, and more homicides than most people have birthdays. In between, I dabbled in arts writing, reviewing concerts and interviewing some of the world’s most famous celebrities, including Peter Wunstorf, Bobcat Goldtwait and my mom.

Currently, I somehow get paid money to be a story editor on the Dragon Age team at BioWare, a triple-A video game studio founded by medical doctors.
