NARRATIVE CONTRIBUTION
Have you got an art book with images drawn from a robust secondary world? Have you put countless hours into worldbuilding to give that imagined universe depth and dynamism? Would you love to see that world brought to life in narrative, but you feel that your creative expertise is not perfectly suited to the task? If so, I can and want to help.
EDITING
I offer developmental editing, proofreading, line editing, and naturalization at competitive rates for any narrative project. As a writer, editor, and PhD candidate, I have the experience and expertise to polish your literary work into the best possible representation of your creative vision.
MENTORSHIP
Already working on your master narrative? Are you looking for constructive, objective feedback? Are you interested in a productive relationship over a long period aimed at improving your own writing craftsmanship? I have taught university writing courses at the largest university in the United States and worked closely with artists to do just that. Let's get in touch!
CLIENT REVIEWS

I have had the immense pleasure and privilege to witness him work both in a professional capacity, as my colleague, and as my cohort when working on my own project, Tegn. It is my heartfelt opinion that he is one of the most curious world builders I have ever met, and he is by far one of the most intuitive and understanding writers, and writing teachers, I have ever had the good fortune to work with.

Max was a big help on my first ever book project. He was very thorough. He made suggestions that gave the project a more consistent tone throughout and elevated the writing of the book. He delivered his work on time, was easy to communicate and work with. I plan to use his services again in the future and cannot recommend him enough.

Max has a great sense for making the text flow as well as possible. Max spent hours in meetings giving us an outside perspective on elements of the story and structural aspects of the narrative. It was honestly a pleasure to work with someone that is so versed in his craft and also so pleasant to work with and with such a positive attitude.

Max is my go-to person for anything that has to do with editing and improving text. The reason is simple, he is fast, easy to work with, he charges very fairly and he has no fear of overdelivering if the task demands it. I can only recommend to partner up with him in any capacity.

ABOUT MAX
My name is Max Gabriele and I have a particular passion for helping visual storytellers express their worldbuilding through literary narrative. As a writer for a video game publisher and a freelance book editor, I have had the pleasure to work with many superb artists who have created truly unique worlds which are not only well-visualized but also mentally built out, sometimes to great degree. However, the truth is that while these amazing creatives are fantastic artists who have put thousands of hours into their craft, many have not honed their narrative skills to the same level.
