Ben Sledge’s Biography

Over five years covering the gaming industry in freelance and full-time roles demonstrates my skills of researching, reporting, and reviewing, as well as showcasing in-depth interviews which help my stories to resonate with readers. With a nose for a lead and a commitment to thorough research, I create exciting and engaging stories that focus on amplifying the voices of those who may not otherwise be heard.

In the past, I've reported on issues of crunch and cultural appropriation in the games industry for IGN and talked to badass female wrestlers for The Overtake, as well as chatting to women who play Warhammer about their experiences in the male-dominated hobby for VICE. I've also been featured in Eurogamer, The Guardian, NME, and more. Now permanently at TheGamer, I'm continuing my reporting in fields as varied as TV, tabletop games, and Apex esports.

I am looking for article commissions outside of the gaming sphere at present.
