About Me
Hi, I'm Sleepy! I'm a freelance writer and visual novel developer. My love of videogames began with Sonic 2 and flourished after being introduced to narrative-heavy games like Final Fantasy. I wrote my Masters thesis on how videogame's integrate narrative with their interactive gameplay elements, and have worked on various projects since then.As a freelance writer, I've worked on papers, ghostbooks, and fiction, both game-related and otherwise. I've contracted with Random Logic Games' to create short stories for their Unraveled Chat Story app and have written for visual novels at game jams and for Camera Anima.
Additionally, I've also done audiobook proofing for novels and professional QA-Playtesting for BioWare on Dragon Age: Inquisition. Currently, I'm alpha testing for Quantum Suicide.
For a more indepth look of what I've done (including portfolio, videos, and misc. work), please visit my site.
For a TL;DR version of my services, please read the following:
- I reserve the right to decline requests.
- I require prefer partial up-front payment. However, I’m open to discussing payment plans! Just ask.
- I request credit for my services. Ghostwriting can be done but only on a case-by-case basis and an additional fee.
- I am easily accessible through email, private messaging, and Discord (Sleepy#3252). Email is preferred.
- Turnaround time may vary due to real-life circumstances and amount of work to be completed. However, I try to complete as soon as possible and will attempt to respect deadlines and circumstances. All I ask if that you respect the same!

Payment
My standard fee is typically $0.02-0.03 USD/word (dependent on complexity of work), particularly for writing and editing/proofing. However, I'm open to a negotiated fee for audio proofing and playtesting, as these often vary greatly depending on the needs and budget of a project.
Free projects will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Generally, though, they’ll be short, non-commercial projects. I'm open to consultation, though.
I accept payments through PayPal and InteractDirect (for Canadian clients). Due to previous issues with clients, I ask for a partial upfront payment and prefer milestone payments for longer projects (>10,000 words OR >1 month). However, overall payment, payment scheduling, and partial payment amount is negotiable.
