Academic, Fiction, Nonfiction, Table Top and Board Games
My name is Bailey Harrington. I'm a copy editor, line editor, and proofreader specializing in academic, fiction, and table top game editing. My clients include academics, independent authors, publishers, and board game designers.
As an academic editor with a PhD in genetics, I help authors get their journal articles, dissertations, grant applications, or tenure-track dossiers ready for submission. I primarily work on manuscripts in STEM topics, although I have also edited humanities and social science papers. I take on LaTeX jobs.
As a fiction editor, I look for anything that pulls the reader out of the story—be it a mis- or overused word, a factual error, or an inconsistency in the timeline—and work with the author to resolve it in a way that is true to their voice and the story.
As a table top game editor, I do more than just copyedit or proofread game rules. I use my many years' experience playing and play testing games to ensure they are production ready and offer a smooth playing experience. I highlight unclear rules; identify points of confusion or edge cases players may encounter; close loopholes; and make the game's theme or back story more salient in the rules.
