Copyeditor and Playtester, looking to flesh out portfolio

I'm a freelance copyeditor, and I've worked on a few TTRPG projects in the past. I'm looking for more projects to work on to help me fill out my portfolio. You can see past work I've done at www.pagesofkenna.com

English is my native language, and I've recently completed a course in English grammar and copyediting. I really like editing technical documents, which includes game rules. I'm good at catching when rules don't make sense, or interpreting what you're trying to say and figuring out how to make it more clear. 

I also enjoy playtesting. It can be as light as me giving you my impression of your project, or as detailed as me recording my games and letting you know how it worked out move by move.

While I'd love to be paid, I understand we don't always have the budget for that, and I'm willing to work on a volunteer basis in exchange for a testimonial I can add to my portfolio.

Hi there,

I came across your post and was impressed by your experience as a freelance copyeditor and your interest in technical editing for TTRPG projects, including game rules. Your portfolio showcases a strong attention to detail and an ability to interpret and clarify complex ideas.

I also appreciate your willingness to playtest and provide detailed feedback on games. Your approach to assessing games' mechanics and rules is highly valuable in the development process.

While I understand the importance of paid work, I'm currently seeking volunteers for a 2D platformer game project. Given your background in technical editing, I believe your skills would be well-suited for ensuring the clarity and coherence of our game dialogs and design documents.

If you're open to a collaboration on a volunteer basis, we would be happy to offer you a testimonial and a fair share of our earnings in exchange for your services. Please let me know if you're interested and we can discuss the project details further.

Thank you for your time and consideration. If you're interested, please feel free to contact me on Discord. My username is WhiteWinged#2347.
