I can help edit your game script

#1 Post by Zogunplex » Sat Jun 04, 2011 5:00 pm

Howdy, I'm Zogunplex! ^-^

If you need help editing a script because English is not your first language, or, you need a little help with grammar, or, you are sick of rereading the script checking for continuity issues, my cat and I can help you out.

I am an English editor and I have been editing game scripts and creative stories for a while now.
So far my page count is at: 3,025 pages

When I am editing a script, I fix grammar mistakes, spot continuity issues, restructure awkward sentences, and highlight the changes I have made so you can review them at your leisure. If you just want me to fix grammar or focus on searching for continuity problems, I can do that too. It all depends on what you want.

Pricing: The point of reimbursing me is so that your script goes to the top of my priority list.
Each page (size 12, Times New Roman font, single-spaced) costs 50 cents (US dollar currency).
So, a script 20 pages long = $10, 1 day delivery
65 pages = $32.50, 2-3 days delivery
And so on.
If you are interested in doing a trade, that's fine. Artwork, music, and voice talent are all welcome.

Typically, I will edit 20 pages a day, so you can average it out yourself how long it will take for me to get your script back to you, give or take a day. I will let you know in advance if I think it will take longer, okay? :)

PM me if you're interested.

P.S. My cat helps because she keeps my lap warm while I'm editing your script. :)

If I hire you, do I need to credit your cat?

Only if you really want to. She isn't likely to be impressed though. :P

You should define what you mean by "page". Not everybody here is a professional writer and/or editor. Without further definition, people could demand that you edit their ten-page manuscript for five bucks, even if the writing on each page is Arial Narrow 1pt...

You are so right. I'll change that now. Thanks for the suggestion!

No problem.

I'm used to 1,800 characters = one standard page (60 characters per line, 30 lines), but you're free to define your own standards.
