Work Exchange: Proofreading Rules

Looking for folks to trade a little proofreading. I will read your book and give the best feedback I can on your document. I am not an editor, consider this more like a playtest for an enthusiast seeing your book. I do read/love a lot of rulebooks and game. I can tell you what does/doesn't make sense to me. I can tell you what spelling/grammar mistakes I notice. I can tell you if I see any rules contradictions. If you want I can also give design feedback/impressions, but I was thinking more of a editing pass, at least for what I would like in return.

Specifically, I'm looking for feedback on clarity of my rulebook. Awkward sentences, poor grammar, unclear rules. My rulebook is 20,847 words. So if you have something for me to proofread it would cool to exchange. I feel like this is the only part of my book I cannot do without a 2nd person. You can DM me for specifics, and if you would like to see the gamepage to decide if you are interested first: https://infantofatocha.itch.io/chronomutants

If you're open to an exchange that doesn't involve a book: 

In exchange for proofreading your text (My day job is being an editor / blog writer), I would like you to:

  • Test three of my websites (2 family-friendly gaming websites, 1 greeting cards) on computer, cell phone and whatever other devices you use.
  • Proofread the text and let me know if there's anything unclear (you only need to proofread the English - you can skip the Spanish and Russian).
  • Offer any suggestions for improvement.

Itch.io doesn't have a DM system. You can contact me through the form on my website or email support@evolutionary.co.za.

Sorry for the late  response. I am currently drowning in work exchange requests from reddit. I'm going to have to circle back around for another round of feedback eventually. I will reach out then. Thanks.

No problem. Thanks for replying.
