First-time creator? Want an editor FOR FREE?

Hey folks,

I'm Christian/MeatCastle, and I'm a pretty established writer and editor in my little corner of the TTRPG-iverse. Here is my credit list of freelance stuff and here are my personal projects! I've worked mostly in OSR-style games (OSE, Mausritter, Cairn, Mothership, MORK BORG, etc.) but have experienced with lots of stuff.

I have a bit of extra time this summer and thought it would be fun to offer free editing to one first-time creator doing the jam. This would entail reading over your manuscript, offering advice on any development/broader level issues I may see, a comprehensive copyedit pass, and then a proofread after you've got it all in layout and are about to make it live - just to make sure there aren't any typos!

I'm not too worried about making sure anyone is truly "first-time" but if writing a module/adventure like this is new to you, let me know you are interested and I'll randomly pick someone (if needed) and reach out!

This is so awesome, thank you for offering to do this!

Feel free to spread the word to anyone you know who is doing it - I know I posted this a bit late!

heyo! 
This is my first time writing something like this alone (the last time I wrote something like this it was with a friend) and wanted to know if the offer would be on the table for me. 

If not I understand and I hope some folks take up your offer!

Yea, I'll definitely put you on the list! I was going to give the post a week to get interested folks before I roll to see who I work with!

What's your title - and what system were you considering?

The Chromatic Canyon. Something compatible with Violence while staying as plug and play as possible.

managed to get an editor :D

I hope you’re able to help someone out! There’s some great folks here :)

Thanks for letting me know!

This is only my second Jam ever, and the first one to put together an actual "marketable" project haha.  I'd love some feedback on pretty much all aspects of this process!

I'll put you on the list! What is your title and what kind of system were you thinking of making it for (if any)?

Hey there, sorry to ghost for a few days (no pun intended lol)

My title is Hauntings in the Wyldwood- I've mainly been using Worlds Without Number, but I'm considering going a little lite-er with Knave 2e this time :)

Let me know if you'd like me to give it an edit pass - if you have been keeping at it (I know my entry has lagged behind)!

Hi there- I'd love a pass if you have the time! I just play-tested my WIP yesterday evening, so I'm gonna do a tune-up on my end but then I'd be happy to link it- what's the best way to get in touch? :D
