"Leslie brings her skills and passion to her work, and it shows. Under her insight and guidance in developmental and line editing, she helped me shape and polish my scenario to a much higher quality than had I tried alone. Beyond helping refine the story, she looked through the game mechanics and the balance and helped me streamline the flow and find the fun. I would happily ask Leslie to be the Developmental and Line Editor on my future projects. I already have a few teed up!” John C., The Unraveling (Call of Cthulhu RPG)

 FAQs

  • The roleplaying game projects I receive vary greatly in length and specific needs. Feel free to email me and tell me a little about your project for me to give a more accurate estimate for the turnaround time.

  • I’ve played many different RPG systems and feel comfortable editing under various rule sets. The two systems I play the most often are Call of Cthulhu and Cyberpunk Red.

  • No, I do not offer services to correct spelling and grammar. What you are looking for is a copy editor or proofreader, which is generally the last step in the writing process.

  • Absolutely! Email me via my contact page and I’d be happy to answer your questions, and how I can help you achieve your goals.

"Leslie Horn recently read through the scenario I had written for the Write Your First Adventure course. Her feedback was extremely valuable and insightful, taking not only the point of view of an editor, but also a GM. Her notes were constructive and positive and, despite my status as a rookie writer, at no point was she condescending or belittling. Working with Leslie was a very good experience and I highly recommend her services." Jon P., Lollipop, Lollipop (Rivers of London RPG)
