Fiction & Game Copy Editing/ProofreadingJeremy DeLong
I will provide substantive and accurate editing and/or proofreading for fiction manuscripts/books and gaming content. The primary aim will be to improve overall clarity, accuracy, organization, and flow--while maintaining your own voice/style. Basic grammar and consistency will also be checked, as well as overall character development, in-world logic/rules, story consistency, etc. You will receive a tracked-changes file (with changes at line and paragraph level indicated, and explained), a clean final copy ready for submission, and several summary memos on the story and character development. Let me help make sure your manuscript or game content is ready for enjoyment!
