Manuscripts
So you’ve already had your manuscript reviewed by Beta readers or your family and gotten rave reviews. Now you (smartly) want to have it reviewed by professionals who will help ensure that what you meant to say is precisely what you wrote … and in a clear, concise, logical way. Or, maybe you think you’re ready to seek agent representation for your completed manuscript (or you’re ready to self-publish your work). As you’ve already researched, prior to shopping your work around, you need to seek the advice and editorial skills of seasoned professionals. We will address dozens of style issues such as pacing, character arc, setting, details, flow, consistency and so forth, and present you with a written overall evaluation. You can then use the evaluation as a guideline to elevate your work to make it as polished as possible prior to shopping it around.
Our bulldog editors – (us) – ensure that your manuscript has no typographical, grammatical, or syntactical errors, by correcting them within the body of your electronic manuscript. Additionally, we will make margin suggestions if language or sentence structure can be elevated.
Perhaps you are entering a short story contest, or submitting your short story for inclusion in an anthology. Ensure that your work is to the point, that your plotline is complete, and that there are no line-edit issues. Recommendations are offered in the margins.Game Rules
Rules writing, editing, and play-testing
Designing a game is similar to writing a book. Authors put their hearts and souls into their manuscripts, and game designers into their games. Sending a manuscript to an editor helps to ensure the flow of the story. In the same way, sending game rules to a game rules editor ensures that the rules are coherent and easily understandable and comprehensive, and that the game is playable. A game rules editor can review and even help make the board more functional and attractive, and the box inclusive of all elements required for a potential customer to pick up to purchase. A game designer wants players to open the box and play without any confusion. We are experienced in editing game rules by virtue of Ann’s immersion in the gaming community for more than a dozen years, and her ownership of Gontza Games, a board and card game company with two games on the market.
