Freelance Writer/Editor - Available for Your Project

Since the late 80s I've written and edited fiction and nonfiction, game rules, technical manuals, user guides, tech journalism, literary theory, game theory and entertainment reviews, with a focus on science fiction, games, and interactive media. I was Senior Editor of a nationally-distributed magazine called "PIX-Elation" in the 90s, and am currently curating and editing UbiquiCity; a science fiction anthology and system-agnostic GM's sourcebook.

Author Testimonials

"Tod Foley of As If Productions edited my story and gave me some great feedback. He corrected everything from minor grammatical errors, to consistency errors, and even at one point, telling me straight up that the ending was too depressing in a way that didn’t serve the story. He was friendly and paid real close attention to my writing style and ensured that my voice was as undiluted by his as he possibly could. He pointed out where my writing was strong and where it needed work – and most importantly, how to fix it. All in all, I enjoyed working with Tod, and would recommend the experience to anybody looking for a great editor with reasonable rates."
- Sierra Tenk
My job as an editor is to elevate all of your work to the level of your best passages, and I take the writer/editor relationship very seriously. If you're equally serious, let's do this.
