Board game editing with a player's perspective
In 2004 I purchased Heroscape and discovered the modern board game hobby! Since then, I've purchased, learned, taught, and played hundreds of games. I'm combining a wealth of board game knowledge with exceptional editing expertise.
If you're looking for someone highly skilled to refine your rulebook and other game content, I can cover or assist in the stages of line editing, copy editing, and/or final proofreading.
What I focus on
- Clarity
- Consistency
- Readability
- Organization
- Formatting
- Grammar
- Spelling
- Punctuation
My approach
I analyze rulebooks and other content from particular assumed perspectives, both of the inexperienced player and the “rules lawyer.”
Editing expertise combined with experience learning and teaching hundreds of modern board games.
I love helping make board game content as polished and user-friendly as possible.
