Game & Interactive Editing
Editing for games requires a slightly different approach to traditional manuscripts. Whether you’re writing rules for a board game or developing narrative for a video game, clarity, structure, and player experience matter just as much as the words themselves.
With a background in game design and production, I bring an editorial approach to both written and interactive experiences.
What I can help with
- Proofreading and editing rulebooks for clarity, consistency, and readability
- Identifying confusing or ambiguous instructions
- Improving structure and flow so players can learn the game more easily
- Ensuring terminology and mechanics are used consistently throughout
- Highlighting gaps or edge cases that may cause confusion during play
This is for you if…
- Players frequently misunderstand your rules
- Your rulebook feels harder to follow than the game itself
- You want your game to feel polished and accessible
This might not be the right fit if…
- Your rules are still in early concept stages
- You’re looking for full game design or mechanic development
What I can help with
- Structural feedback on narrative, pacing, and player experience
- Character consistency, voice, and development
- Dialogue clarity and natural flow
- Identifying narrative gaps, confusion, or missed opportunities
- Aligning story with gameplay and player progression
This is for you if…
- Your narrative feels disjointed or unclear
- You’re unsure if your story is landing the way you intend
- You want to strengthen the player’s emotional or narrative experience
This might not be the right fit if…
- You’re looking for full scriptwriting or narrative design from scratch
- Your project is still at a very early concept stage
