“Forthcoming, fast and meticulous”
We have engaged Neil to proofread our 400-page RPG adventure and sourcebook The Straight Way Lost for 5e.
Neil was incredibly forthcoming, fast and meticulous in his work. As TSWL was our first original work, we had no style sheet and a lot of open questions, but Neil navigated us through all of this. He also has a great grasp of 5e wording and formatting and found quite a few issues that our developers had overlooked.
I can wholeheartedly recommend working with Neil and we’ll surely engage him again for our next project.

“A great cheerleader”
I’ve been playing ttrpg for a long time, and I’ve often created my own supplements, adventures, and games. As a gift to myself I decided to take one of my projects to completion and have it published. Luckily I found Neil at Paladin Roleplaying. Neil is helping me narrow my focus, sharpen my ideas, and giving me the confidence to keep pushing toward the finish line. Not much is more scary than putting your precious ideas on paper and opening them up to another for review. Neil has encouraged my work and is a great cheerleader. I can’t wait to see where this project takes us!

“I have no hesitation in recommending his services”
Neil edited our Quickstart text for a new roleplaying game, and did a great job. He was always contactable and responsive to questions, was very thorough and offered excellent insights. He made a huge contribution to the final product, and finished a week ahead of schedule. I will use him again and have no hesitation in recommending his services.

“Great game editor”
I found Neil really easy to work through very timely in his responses and knowledgeable in the subject. He made a point of asking questions and making great suggestions on top of the editing work he did for me. I would happy recommend Neil, he provides a great service and good value for money. I am planning to work with Neil again. Great Game Editor

“Nothing short of miraculous”
Neil brings world-class attention to detail and exhaustive knowledge of format, grammar, and style that one rarely encounters outside of major publishing houses. His ability to create a coherent style guide from my capricious and “dynamic” writing is nothing short of miraculous.

“At the end of a protracted writing and design process, you’re understandably pretty excited to release your book into the world. It’s finally time to collect on all the the adoring praise and international success that you deserve! However, experience has taught me that if you’re too hasty, you’ll instead be met by a helpful (but less exciting) buzz of corrections and confusion as your readers pick apart every spelling error, grammar blunder or unexplained term in your work.
My advice to you is simple: get Neil to find these embarrassing mistakes for you! He is rigorous, considered and gentle, and he’ll make you look like the flawless genius you always knew you were.”

“Neil saved the book”
When Neil first offered his services I thought to myself, “I already have an editor” and decided I would use his services on some amorphous project in the future. Not too far later, I found myself buried under a draft rpg supplement that grew too big, too fast. I turned to Neil to save the project. Why Neil? Because I needed someone that would not only save the grammar (from myself), but also refine the flow and ensure that the mechanics interacted with the prose appropriately.
Neil saved the book. After Neil’s help the book shifted from being a production loadstone that I dreaded working on into something I am once again excited about. Neil is professional, easy to work with, thorough, and timely. I am now actively looking for new projects for him to help with.

Neil was a great help on our project, quick, thorough, and consistent. Everything you want from a quality editor.

“Exactly what I needed”
I’m very happy with the work! This is exactly what I wanted, someone to help make my language clearer and point out mistakes or things that could be troublesome. I appreciate all the work, thanks a bunch Neil.
