About Carla Carmona
Carla is a writer from Peñuelas, Puerto Rico, now based in Atlanta. She’s an Emory alum with both a BA and MA in English, but more importantly, she’s a Pisces with lots of opinions about video games.
Her work has ranged from academic institutions to nonprofits and even Fortune 500 companies, but these days she’s happiest writing about games. As a Contributor for The Best War Games, she dives into fandoms, industry trends, and the weird little corners of gaming culture. She especially loves picking apart stories in RPGs and analyzing how games shape the way we think about modern storytelling.
When she’s not writing, she’s probably deep into yet another The Sims 4 playthrough (her 2,000+ hours say "sul, sul, The Best War Games readers"), crying about Shadow the Hedgehog, overanalyzing vampire lore, or flirting with disaster in Baldur’s Gate 3.
