You're welcome. :)
I keep thinking "Clan of the Honey Badger" and laughing to myself. I am super interested in these, but unfortunately I don't have extra money at the moment. Sounds like you're getting good feedback and attention on them though, so congrats and keep it up!
I just wanted to take a moment and say I have been enjoying reading all these interviews on your blog, Serpent. Keep 'em going! Additionally, have you contacted Scott Gladstein over at Little Red Goblin Games? He might be willing to participate.
That all sounds fantastic. I have heard about Ultimate Psionics but have not yet looked much into it. (Oh geez, they even have an actual hardback! That's wicked cool!) Thanks for taking a moment to answer my curiosity.
Good luck and I hope, for the sake of you and for Dreamscarred Press, that you meet their needs. DSP is my favorite 3PP and good hires only make them even better. Thanks for the luck! Do you mind if I ask why they are your favorite?
Anguish and Changing Man: You both have excellent points. It is easier for me to edit someone else's writing rather than my own. I have to edit at a slower pace when looking over my own work in order to correct for the "reading what I thought I wrote rather than what I actually wrote" bias. I did read over and edit my post, but apparently, I did not slow down enough to catch everything. Simon Legrande: I understand that looking for work as an editor and making a mistake is a bigger deal than, say, an artist who made the same mistake. I get it; I really do. I would go to greater lengths to ensure that my official resume (and my actual editing work) is free from any errors than what I did here. I assumed you meant it as a somewhat serious issue in a goofy manner, so there are no hard feelings. Thank you for the good luck! I hope I find a place, too.
Christos Gurd: Thank you! I was wondering when I would see you pop-up here. Simon Legrande: This is just an example that I am human and can make mistakes. No shame in that. Nice catch, by the way. Made me facepalm! Random tangent: When I edit a product I like to look it over twice. I start with my first pass during which I try to catch all the large issues. Then I give my eyes and mind a break from the product, even if it is just a good night's sleep, in order to do a second pass and try to catch all the smaller errors, such as the one here. The process may be a little different for really large products, but the first/second passes is the basics of what I do, which is good since that is the foundation of the entire editing process. BigDTBone and Interjection Games: I appreciate the support! CalebTGordan: Thanks! If you want to post your information and share my thread, I am okay with that. Interjection Games: No biggie! You can totally chat with me later. I completely understand already having things in the works and so forth. This offer will stand for quite a while since I am completely open to freelancing.
That is definitely something I did not think about, so I appreciate the message. You are completely right. I have had the account for almost a year, but I am new the messageboards.
About Me: My name is April Halcomb. I am a college student who does this work on the side. I have worked with Little Red Goblin Games for almost a year. Editing: I can do practically everything, even if that sounds pretentious, except edit for mechanics. My main responsibility at Little Red was ensuring that all products used standard, grammatically correct (American) English. (This includes professionalism, such as not using slang terms and using good word choice.) In addition, I reviewed for the following:
Publications I Edited (not including the ones not yet released):
I am learning. I am acquainted with the core rulebook, but I am learning the rest as I go. If I come across something I do not know or understand, I look it up, but if that does not help, I make sure to ask questions so I'm on the right page. I hope this gives a better insight into me as an editor, and I am in the process of completing/updating my profile.
I found a link. I didn't read the page because it had a lot of text, but it describes what they are looking for. Thank you so much! That's exactly the kind of information I was looking for.
Umm, Rynjin is making a somewhat humorous point at Paizo's expense in the wake of various errors in the just released Advanced Class Guide. I realized that was probably what it was after I posted so. Thanks though. Sometimes it's hard to read humor through text, especially when I am being serious.
Paizo could really use one. I saw their jobs listing, and there isn't an editor listed: http://paizo.com/paizo/about/jobs Could you give me more information on where to find it?
Hello Reader, I am a professional editor with a formidable understanding of English who is looking for work, through freelancing or contract. I have experience working for a third-party Pathfinder company, and a portfolio that shows a strong representation of my skills. In addition, I am willing to prove my skills with an “editing test,” which will not disappoint. The company I was employed by worked virtually through Google Drive and some communication through Facebook. However, I am quick to adapt to technology, so it would not take me long to learn any other collaboration style software or sharing process. I understand that many third-party companies are small, so I understand that pay will be low – my first goal is not money; I need official experience. However, I value my time, so I do not work for free. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information.
P.S. I am not sure if I should post this here or not, so I apologize if this is not something that should be posted in the messageboards. |
