Hello, everyone!

Welcome to my itch.io page.  I made it specifically to offer my services for upcoming and established visual novel developers who are looking for a high quality editor.  Personally, I believe that the writing in VNs should be looked over by an editor to ensure that the stories are told in the best, most effective way, and having such an editor ensures that level of quality.

With that said, here is my resume:

Visual Novel Editor/Proofreader, in which I can offer over 5 years of experience as an editor and proofreader of various English visual novel games and those that have been translated from other languages to English.

KEY SKILLS AND ABILITIES

• Flexible and adaptable style which allows me to edit many kinds of writing in many genres.
• Meticulous approach to correcting grammatical and spelling errors, with the understanding that there are different variations of English, ranging from US to Canadian to British style.
• A proven team player in that I keep the lines of communication open regularly.  I can be contacted easily via email and instant messaging (primarily through Skype).
• An open and friendly approach to all the tasks I’m assigned which results in high levels of client satisfaction and repeat business.

CAREER EXPERIENCE

• Proofreader for Shrouded in Haze (current project; http://www.unbrokenhours.com/haze/)

• Proofreader for Princess of Ruin (release date Dec. 2014; http://www.unbrokenhours.com/ruin/) 
  • (Note: Nominated for best editor by VNs NOW!  http://vnsnow.com/now-presenting-the-nominations-for-the-2014-best-ofs/)
• Proofreader for Heartstring Bugs (release date Dec. 2012; http://www.unbrokenhours.com/hsb/)
• Editor for The Drastik Measure (editing various articles for indie games Jun. 2017~current; http://www.thedrastikmeasure.com/)

  • Steam store page (http://store.steampowered.com/app/635790/)
  • Game developer’s store page (http://eroolia.roseverte.net/king/en/)

In regards to my paid rates, I am very flexible.  I can accept payment on a per project basis, an hourly rate, rate per word, etc.  This is very negotiable, as I understand that developers can be on a limited budget and that starting developers need all the support that they can get.  (Of course, this is assuming that the VN is a commercial one.  For free VNs, I will work free of charge although I prioritize commercial VNs.)

In addition to editing and proofreading VN writing, I will also help with press releases, free of charge.  When I'm given a script to edit, I will put all of my complete effort to make sure that it's edited to the highest quality and I want to help make that VN a commercial success.  

I can be contacted via email (phoenixstarpower@hotmail.com).  I ask that in the subject line, you include the VN that you are working on.  Also, in the body of the email itself, I ask that as many details as possible be given in regards to your project so I may understand it fully and do my best to help.

Thank you for taking the time to read all of this and I hope to hear from you!  :D
