Available Licenses

Hello! I provide copyediting and proofreading services. I specialize in text-heavy video games (such as RPGs, interactive fiction, and visual novels) and in fiction of various types. I also have experience writing and editing copy and short fiction.

I consider myself flexible when it comes to what I'm willing to work on, but these are what will make me excited to work with you:

F/F romance (including both SFW and erotica)
LGBTQIA+ media in general
Historical fiction (including historical romance)
Fantasy, especially anything involving magic

That said, if your project doesn't fit any of these, don't feel like you can't commission me! I'm more than willing to work on most types of writing.

I primarily work with a slightly modified version of the Chicago Manual of Style. If you want your text edited strictly to CMS, or if you want to work with a different style guide, please note that when you submit your order.

Pricing

Prices start at US $10 for texts of 500 words or fewer. After that, the price increases by US $0.02 per word, with no maximum.

A 50% surcharge will be added for rush orders; what is defined as a "rush order" depends on the length of the text and the requested deadline--I will not take jobs that I do not believe I can complete in the desired time frame. (Or, to put it another way: You're not getting a 100,000 word manuscript back in one day. I am a mere mortal.)

Accepted file types

I can accept the following types of files:

Google Docs (corrections made via Suggestion Mode)
Google Sheets (corrections made via Suggestion Mode)
Any text file which can be opened with LibreOffice Writer (corrections made via Track Changes, which is 100% compatible with the same function in Microsoft Word)
PDF files (corrections made via Adobe Acrobat Reader's Comments function)
.rpy files (I will make corrections directly to the file in Atom and send a text file detailing the lines which have been changed)
Twine project files (I will make corrections directly to each passage in Twine and send a text file detailing the passages which have been changed)
Ren'Py applications (corrections made via Ren'Edit; if your game has branches, please provide a guide so that I can easily see all of the possible text!)
...and more? These are just what I have experience with. If you have a format not listed here, feel free to ask about it!

What I won't do

Developmental editing
Extensive writing/rewriting
Texts in languages other than English
Work on texts promoting bigotry against marginalized groups (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc.)
Work on adult/NSFW/pornographic texts written or sent to me by minors

This project agreement is between the artist and client. Commiss.io is a neutral third party providing hosting, technology, and dispute resolution services.

This license and agreement is entered into between the artist and the client (the “parties”). The parties are members of Commiss.io and have agreed to the Terms of Service as part of their membership. This agreement applies to relevant projects entered into by the parties when purchasing or selling services. The Terms of Service applies to all projects on Commiss.io.

This agreement is only between the parties. Commiss.io is the provider of technology and management of the platform and is not a party to this agreement.

This agreement takes effect when both parties agree to a project, price, and license. The project refers to the specific service to which this agreement is attached. Any and all communication and materials associated with the project are part of the project.

This agreement constitutes a legal contract. The artist is engaged by the client as an independent contractor to complete the job. There is no employment relationship established by this agreement.

2. The Project

This agreement only applies to the project it is attached to and only to the scope of the project as agreed. Either party may change the agreement or the scope of the agreement with written consent of both parties.

This agreement is attached to a project, as agreed upon by the artist and client. This agreement applies only to the materials within the scope of the project as outlined above. It is the responsibility of both parties to ensure positive communication about ongoing projects.

The project agreement may change at the request of the artist, with approval from the client. The project price may also change at the request of the artist, with approval from the client. If the scope of the project is changed, the artist should request a change of price as appropriate.

Upon completion of the project, the artist will submit the final assets. These will be available in a preview mode until accepted by the client. The client has 30 days to accept the final assets, request changes to the final assets, or request a cancellation of the project. If the client does not take any action for 30 days, the project will be considered "accepted" by default, and closed.

3. Payment

Payment is handled as outlined in the Terms of Service. Payment information is collected upon the initial request, and the client is charged at the start of the project.

Payment is handled as outlined in the Commiss.io Terms of Service. The client will not be charged until the artist has begun work on the project. Payment is held by Commiss.io’s payment partners until they are released as outlined in those terms.

4. License of Project Assets

The client receives an exclusive, royalty free license for commercial use of any original project assets, and a non-exclusive license for premade project assets, as outlined below.

For any project assets created specifically for the purposes of this project, the artist grants the client an exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license for all commercial use of the project assets. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the artist may continue to display any project assets as example materials, in online and offline portfolios, and to prospective clients. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the artist does not retain the right to use the completed work for commercial purposes, including selling digital or physical copies of the completed project assets.

For any pre-existing portions of project assets created by the artist, the client is granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license for all commercial use of the relevant project assets.

Unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties, no attribution is necessary.

5. Cancellation and Refunds

Cancellations are subject to the terms selected by the artist and agreed upon by the parties prior to the start of the project.

Either party can request a cancellation prior to the successful completion of the project by using the “Contact Staff” button on the project page. It is recommended that the parties attempt to resolve any issues between themselves prior to requesting cancellation. Upon cancellation, the obligations of the artist to complete and deliver project assets are terminated. Funds will be returned to the client minus any applicable cancellation fees.

Cancellations as a result of artist action or inaction will incur no cancellation fee. Examples include, but are not limited to: an unresponsive artist and project materials outside the agreed scope.

Cancellations through no fault of the artist will incur a cancellation fee according to the cancellation policy associated with the project listing.

Cancellations and cancellation fees are subject to the Commiss.io Dispute Resolution process outlined below.

6. Dispute Resolution

Commiss.io staff provide dispute resolution, should the need arise. Disputes may be raised during or shortly after project completion. Commiss.io will make an ultimate decision regarding the project outcome intended to mutually benefit both parties.

The parties agree to participate in and be subject to the Commiss.io dispute resolution process as outlined in the Terms of Service. A dispute may be raised within 7 days of project completion by using the “Contact Staff” button on the project page.

It is greatly recommended that the parties attempt to reach an amicable solution between themselves prior to raising a dispute, though Commiss.io staff is available to provide assistance without raising a formal dispute.

As outlined in the Terms of Service. If a dispute is raised, Commiss.io will attempt to assist the parties in reaching a solution. Failing that, Commiss.io reserves the right to make an ultimate decision regarding the project outcome, relevant refunds, and any necessary transferring of intellectual property rights or project asset licenses.

7. Miscellaneous

This agreement is bound to the Commiss.io Terms of Service and those terms are incorporated to the greatest extent permissible by law, into this agreement. In the case this agreement is inconsistent with the Commiss.io Terms of Service, those terms take precedence over anything within this agreement.
