Author Testimonials from Novels I’ve Edited
Casey Williams
“Calen is a first-rate editor who can take complicated subjects, quickly learn the details, and provide valuable feedback to authors. He edited my book, So Your Plant Sucks about rescuing failing manufacturing plants while employing Six Sigma and Lean tools - not easy topics, but he helped me polish the book to become better than it could otherwise have been. I would highly recommend his skills.”
Debbie Burke
“Calen not only has an eagle eye and a great intuitive sense about the use of language; he also has an infectious enthusiasm, a can-do attitude and an eagerness to learn everything he can about publishing. I would highly recommend him for any position he is seeking in the industry as he would be a strong and valuable asset.”
Bryan Porter
“Calen is an amazing editor! He helped me by completing a comprehensive edit on my debut non-fiction book, The Parable of the Knocker. Calen was extremely thorough and detailed-oriented…
One of Calen's most impressive qualities is his understanding that the editing process should not result in significant changes to the author's voice or thematic structure. Calen exhibits a real commitment to the art of story-telling, which is the result of his multi-faceted and impressive resume. …In addition to being an outstanding editor, he is also a wonderful personality."
Gaming Articles (Opens in New Tab)
I’ve written over 100 articles on the gaming industry.
These first three are from my personal blog, which I stopped posting to as I hadn’t quite found a niche and wanted to move onto paid publications. The appeal of gaming is a good introduction, as it describes my passion for the medium and why I find it so fun to talk about.
After those are my articles for Game Developer, and finally The Gamer, which I wrote for when I was starting out. I hope you enjoy.
