Biography

Her father, Terry Pratchett, is the best-selling fantasy and children's fiction author, famous for the Discworld series of novels.

After finishing a journalism degree, Pratchett got her first big break at Minx magazine, which she describes as a "funky" magazine for young women, adding "shame more women's magazines aren't like that these days".cite web |url=http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/talking-with-rhianna-pratchett-writer-and-co-story-designer-of-overlord.ars |title= Talking With Rhianna Pratchett]

Computer Games

Pratchett specialises in developing the story, humor and characterisation in games. She writes regularly for the PC games magazine "PC Zone" and the "The Guardian" newspaper.

"“Games narrative is getting better, but we still have a long way to go. As the industry looks towards attracting a greater share of the mainstream audience, improving the way our games are told, as well as how they are played, will be more important than ever.”"

In September 2006, Edge magazine placed her at no. 2 in the article 'Game Industry's 100 Most Influential Women' article.
