About this Gig

I will review your rulebook based on at least five scientific disciplines:

  • comprehension theory,
  • technical communication,
  • plain language,
  • usability and accessibility,
  • and game and rulebook design.


My perspective and edits are grounded in theory, and will be different than what you might expect from a rulebook editor who bases their expertise on past rulebook practice. I specialise in making your rulebook as pleasant, readable and accessible as possible for Everyone, not just for the people familiar with the rulebook genre.


Based on the package you choose I will:

  • read, provide comments and suggest minor edits
  • read, provide comments, and perform minor and intermediate edits
  • read, provide comments, and do a full rewrite


Versions of a rulebook I will accept per package:

  • Basic: a cohesive rulebook, either formatted or unformatted
  • Intermediate: a cohesive rulebook, either formatted or unformatted, in editable format
  • Pro: a list of rules is or a rulebook in editable format


I will not DESIGN your rulebook, I will however give tips for how to design accessibly, and include a review of the design (if applicable) in all packages.
