Since I'm handing off projects, I'd love to expand my referral list of #editors! I often point folks to the #EditorsOfColor database in addition to my personal contacts, but I'd love to highlight specific folks within the #gaming and #TTRPG industry if possible.
If you're a BIPOC games editor taking on new projects, or have someone to recommend, please let me know here or via email (simone @ WildwoodEditing .com)! Boosts appreciated 😊

Why do we need such guidelines? Because “A dominant culture or set of group dynamics can result in silencing [voices], without any individual intending to do so” to say the least.
