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, contact me. I can cover or assist in the stages of line editing, copy editing, and/or final proofreading for you. You'll see from the testimonials on this page that publishers are very enthusiastic about the services I've provided them.

I love helping to make board game content as highly polished and user friendly as possible.
I analyze rulebooks and other content from particular assumed perspectives, both of the inexperienced player and the "rules lawyer."

Creator of Biome and
Founder of Lioness Games
We had the pleasure of working with Eric Selander to proofread our rulebook, and his meticulous and professional approach exceeded our expectations. Eric managed to discern mistakes that no one else had noticed and helped clarify details that even we had overlooked. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our rulebook was perfect made a significant difference in the final product. We highly recommend Eric for any proofreading needs and look forward to working with him again in the future.

We used Eric on a board game project where we were confident his help wasn't really needed. We had some expertise in the team and assumed this would only be a pair of extra eyes, just for safety. Boy, were we wrong. Eric meticulously went through all the material and spotted many instances where the grammar needed updating, where wording and punctuation was inconsistent, where sentences were ambiguous or unclear, and where additional clarifications were needed. He didn't just look at the text in isolation, but made sure to understand the whole game with all its intricacies to better suggest changes that would be fitting for our style and audience. He also provided knowledge from the board game industry as to how other games use certain terms, which helped us create a more accessible and easy-to-understand game. As such, he excelled over every expectation we had, and in a very timely manner as well. He was the help we didn't know we needed. Now we know better!

Eric has been a lifesaver for Biome and a delight to work with; incredibly responsive, timely, and an expert in English grammar and board games. I can happily recommend him and will be sure to seek his help for future games.
He really went above and beyond, providing excellent feedback on both the rulebook and cards, making suggestions for improvement on clarity of the rules and much more.
I made frequent rulebook changes and Eric ever-so-patiently edited each revision. Any publisher or board game designer would be lucky to have Eric's eye for detail and overall support.

Eric's work was unparalleled. His clear and timely communication and efficiency demonstrated a high level of professionalism as well as geniune care for the integrity of my project. When I need rulebook proofing and editing, I won't go to anyone else.
