Hey — I'm Miles. I'm a copywriter, editor, and tabletop game enthusiast based in Bedford, TX, with over six years of freelance experience writing and editing for published games, crowdfunding campaigns, national publications, and consumer brands.
My tabletop work includes editing and writing copy for Keymaster Games across five titles — Campy Creatures, Control, PARKS: Wildlife, Chicken!, and Harvest — covering rulebooks, crowdfunding campaigns, web copy, and product marketing. I know what it takes to make a rulebook sing and a campaign page convert.
Beyond games, I've edited press materials featured in Forbes and American Songwriter, line-edited a full-length novel manuscript, and edited lyrics for published indie artists. I bring the same attention to voice, consistency, and clarity to every project — whether it's flavor text on a card or a 48-page rulebook.
I'm a longtime RPG player with deep familiarity with D&D systems, tone, and storytelling conventions. When you hire me, you're getting someone who genuinely lives in this hobby — and knows exactly how the words should feel.
Genres & Niches
Real published work, for real published games. A few projects I'm proud of.
Wrote package copy and marketing materials for Keymaster Games' fast-paced press-your-luck dice game designed by Scott Almes. Chicken! funded on Kickstarter and went on to wide retail distribution including Target, Amazon, and game shops nationwide.
Wrote the rulebook, solo mode almanac, and Kickstarter campaign copy for Keymaster Games' cozy worker-placement farming game set in Furroughfield, designed by Trey Chambers. The campaign funded successfully and the game holds a 7.6 on BGG.
Edited and wrote web, product, and marketing copy for three additional Keymaster Games titles — the horror-comedy bluffing game Campy Creatures, the area-control game Control, and the nature-themed PARKS: Wildlife expansion.
Edited press materials that went on to be featured in national consumer publications including Forbes and American Songwriter Magazine. Work involved sharpening narrative, ensuring factual clarity, and adapting tone for national editorial standards.
Line-edited a full-length novel manuscript for clarity, grammar, tone, and consistency — working closely with the author to preserve voice while strengthening the prose throughout.

We talk through your game, your timeline, and what you need. No charge — just a conversation to see if we're a good fit.
I send a clear written proposal: what I'll deliver, when, and what it costs. No vague hourly ranges — a real number.
I deliver in agreed stages. You give feedback, we refine. Most projects include two rounds of revisions built into the quote.
Clean files in whatever format you need — Google Doc, Word, or plain text. Ready to hand off to your layout team.

Miles has a rare ability to understand a game's tone and write to it immediately. His rulebook work on Harvest was clear, warm, and exactly right — players consistently comment on how readable and welcoming it is. He's been an invaluable part of our publishing process.

Working with Miles on the manuscript was exactly what I needed — he understood my voice from the first pass and made the prose sharper without ever making it feel like someone else's writing.

Miles edited our lyrics with real care — he caught things we'd stopped seeing and fixed them without losing the feel of the songs. He gets music writing in a way most editors don't.

Got a game in the works? Need copy written, a rulebook untangled, or a world built out? I'd love to hear about it. I work with designers at every stage — prototype to print.
I'm a real human who responds quickly and talks straight. No corporate runaround.
