Proofreading dialogue descriptions other text

Post » Tue May 08, 2012 12:02 pm

I love the modding community, and I'm consistently awed by all the hard work you folks do. But I'm often frustrated when I install a mod and find that, no matter how brilliant the design, a lot of the dialogue and other text is strewn with errors. I'm a nitpicker by nature, and this kind of thing pushes a primal button in me.

But I've done a bit of freelance proofreading and editing, and I'm hoping to lend a hand to any ongoing project that could use a discerning editorial eye. I can clean up your dialogue, your quest descriptions – even an FAQ, manual, or other reference. Anything, really. And my asking price is quite reasonable: simply a mention in your mod's credits. (And even that's negotiable.)

In the interest of full disclosure, I'll admit that helping the community is only half my motivation. I'm a recent college grad looking to broaden my professional experience in the editorial field and make my résumé a bit more appealing. Working on an amateur video game modding project isn't a major credit, sure, but every bit helps.

Please don't hesitate to send me a message. No project too small or too large.

(I've cross-posted this offer to the Nexus boards, because I'm not sure which of the communities gets more traffic. Hopefully this isn't a faux pas of some sort.)
