I've always been delighted by a bright idea, and the words that bring it to life. To see my resume, simply click here. I've recently joined the #1 online food site, Seattle-based allrecipes.com. Here I direct the content offerings to a passionate and engaged community of home cooks. I got my online chops by helping to manage the Creative Services group at Classmates.com, one of the original social networks. My writing team enhanced the site by tapping into the nostalgic spirits of curious members. Before being a web pro, I was a gamer, namely the Copy Curator at Cranium, the company that got its start with the award-winning game by the same name. There I led the editorial re-branding of the packaging. As the namesake of Rebecca Kraus Creative, I've had the pleasure of consulting with clients across different industries--including an energy company, game developer, invention studio, publisher and mobile content provider. Please view my client list here. Before Seattle, I lived in LA and enjoyed being the senior writer for Mattel Games Design. I helped create and develop brands from the research and brainstorming phases, to play testing and final execution of the content, packaging and rules. I worked on developmental games for preschoolers, licensed products for kids and social interactive games for adults. Let's not forget print! Since its launch, I was the Managing Editor for Entertainment@Home magazine, a national publication that explored the convergence of media in the digital era. In addition to being a regular contributor to its film section, I was also the Music Editor for the weekly Entertainment Today magazine. As a freelance writer, I have contributed stories of pop culture and entertainment to many publications, including Premiere, Rolling Stone and Request. I’ve also written about travel, from the tale of a Bollywood film star in Soma magazine, to my experience at a Croatian peace camp in the book, Europe from a Backpack. For three years, I served on the Board of Directors for the non-profit, the Global Children’s Organization. This enabled me to blend my passion for play with my advocacy for children. In addition to fundraising and re-designing the brochure and website, I volunteered as a camp counselor around the world. In recent years, I have been a teacher and guest lecturer, espousing the virtues of volunteerism, travel writing, word play and games design. Can I get a witness? Sure! Read here.
