What you should do first:

- Let me know your selected title and a rough timeline of when you’ll complete the review
- Once I accept you will receive the game on Steam
- Play & review. Please use a google doc and write your review in there, you’ll find a folder with your name on it on the shared drive.
- Formatting explanation is on the shared google drive
- When you finish and edit to the best of your ability let me know
- You will receive edits back as suggestions on your google doc
- Implement edits (or push back if you disagree) and let me know
- I’ll do another pass, generally any remaining edits at this point are very minor and I’ll indicate you’re good to put in WordPress
- Transfer to WP, add in images and all other requirements
- Change status to “Pending Review” in the top right and let me know
- You are free to pick another game at this point without waiting for my edits
