Portfolio

Among my copyediting and proofreading credits are academic books in the humanities published by the Cambridge, Harvard, Chicago, and Cornell university presses. I’ve also copyedited and proofread roleplaying games, other tabletop games, and SFF works published by Fantasy Flight, Edge Studio, Modiphius, and Cubicle 7, among others. I’m known for my work in the Star Wars, Legend of the Five Rings, Genesys, and Arkham Horror IPs. For free copies of some of the shorter pieces I’ve edited, see the links in the Tabletop Games and Speculative Fiction sections below.
