PORTFOLIO
Here are some of the many titles I'm proud to have been part of. The range of my involvement in the books and games on this page runs from substantive editing to copy editing and/or proofreading.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to fit all the projects I've worked on here (and sometimes my editorial involvement is confidential). I have experience with many other subjects and project types, too, so if you'd like to discuss how my experience would enhance your project, please ask.
 They Fought in ColourThis beautiful book compiled by the Vimy Foundation features newly colourized images from the First World War.

(Available October 2018) |  RootDesigned by Cole Wehrle, this is an asymmetrical "Game of Woodland Might and Right" in which 2–4 players battle for area control of a vast wilderness. The rules are long and detailed, and proofreading this beautiful game was a lot of fun! |
