Michelle Nephew

Michelle Nephew has been with Atlas Games for over 20 years. In that time she's brought more than a hundred card games, board games, and RPG books to market, and has won numerous awards for them — the Parents Choice, Tillywig, Origins, GAMES 100, Diana Jones, and ENnie Awards to name a few. Some of her work has even appeared on TableTop with Wil Wheaton.

She's also a past Board Member of the Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA), has been a Gen Con Costume Contest Judge several times, and has appeared as Guest of Honor at premier conventions like Gen Con, Origins, and others in the US and abroad.

Michelle has a PhD in English Literature, and wrote her dissertation on the topic of authorship and roleplaying games (yes, she really is a "Doctor of Gaming"). Since then, she's had several academic articles published on topics relating to hobby games.
