Out of curiosity, has anyone with non-game writing experience gotten hired for game writer roles? It's been hard finding jobs related to my degree. I have an MFA in Creative Writing yet much of my work is in non-game writing, such as poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction. I have publications & received writing grants.

I am really just trying to find employment right now and my goal was academia, yet much of writing postings in my area are for game writers. But they want game writing experience. So trying to see if anyone's been in a similar boat. Curious if it's worth just taking a leap submitting my stuff.
