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 a box tagline 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.

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.
