My name is Janet Garcia and I’ve been a video game critic and content creator since 2015. I hold a B.A. in English Literature with honors in creative writing and a focus on Secondary Education. I’m currently an independent freelancer.

My career includes writing, consulting, podcasting, and other on-camera work such as hosting and streaming. I also make short-form content on platforms like TikTok. I’m currently open for work. You can email me at janet@pentopixels.com

I write reviews and features for my own website, Pen to Pixels, have been featured in print for Lost in Cult (issues 002 and 004), and have done guest writing for several anthologies, such as Video Game of the Year by Jordan Minor.

I have consulted on numerous projects across the AAA and indie space via mock reviews, surveys, Metacritic predictions, and meetings with team members. Most projects can’t be named due to NDAs, but I can disclose that I worked on Sherlock Holmes Chapter One and OlliOlli World.

When it comes to podcasting, you can hear me on The Gangcast, The MinnMax Show, Pew Pew Bang, Remap Radio, and The Indie Council. While most of my podcasts have a video component, my on-camera experience goes beyond that. I’ve hosted showcases such as Skybound Expo: Games. I stream on Twitch (with archives on my YouTube Channel). I’ve created featured let’s plays for games like 1000xRESIST. I’ve also done sponsored streams for games like Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan.

I’ve been part of MinnMax since April 2021. This means on top of doing the aforementioned MinnMax Show and Pew Pew Bang podcasts, I’ve also covered live events (such as Summer Game Fest, Gamescom, GDC, and PAX), made vlogs, participated in group let’s plays, done sponsored content with companies like NVIDIA, and was the interim social media manager of our Bluesky, Instagram, and TikTok.
