Games Workshop – Specialist Games Studio
(2015)
Freelance editor, contributing to the studio’s flagship Adeptus Titanicus title – approximately 90,000 words across multiple print formats. Similarly to my Forge World work below, this required copy editing of both prose and technical writing, with particular focus on consistency.

Games Workshop – Black Library

Freelance copy editor and proofreader, contributing to 43 novels and anthologies from 10,000 to 400,000 words. Black Library’s in-house editorial team often calls upon me when work is required at short notice; I am able to complete novel-length manuscripts (approx. 100,000 words) to deadlines as tight as 7 days.

Games Workshop – Forge World

Freelance copy editor, contributing to 11 gaming supplements averaging 60,000 – 100,000 words. Publications such as these present the unique challenge of editing both prose and technical writing, and I am able to ensure consistency with both wider intellectual property settings and preceding installments in a multi-volume series, and clarity, accuracy and readability of the more technical aspects of each publication.
