I Write Words
I’m a professional writer who worked in copywriting, tech writing, and online content outside of games for years. If you need help wrangling words for a crowdfunding project or for other marketing content, I’m here for ya.
Maybe you want some help with narrative, flavor text, or dialogue in your game? I have a degree in Creative Writing, and I’m happy to assist with building a world, theme, and story for your players.
I’ve also worked on about 10 rulebooks by now, and I can confidently say that good rules writing is a niche skill of its own, even for an experienced writer. I know firsthand how tricky making an effective rulebook can be, and I’d love to help you through any stage of the process: writing, layout, line editing, or proofreading.
– Tim Fowers, designer of Burgle Bros and Paperback
“Skye was fantastic at rulebook editing. Rulebooks are tough to get right. He has the right mix of stating things completely, but also succinctly. He also did all the layout, so he was able to know how to get the most out of the available space.”
I Help You Make Games
I also offer developmental services for tabletop games to help get games past the finish line. I’ve worked with some great publishers including Fowers Games and Red Raven Games. I have experience with game balance, filling out card designs and other game content, playtesting, and preparing files for prototypes and final prints.
I have years of experience with Adobe products like InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I’ve even worked directly with overseas manufacturers on projects, and I understand the process (and all the hard work!) that it takes to make a game concept become a tangible product.
Pricing/Rates
Because my work in games can vary so much from project to project, I don’t currently have a standing rate on my fees. Let’s talk through what you need and what your budget is, and I can give you a quote.
