About this Gig

Please message me before placing an order :)


Have you recently finished your story or novel and want feedback on your work's overall structure, plot, character arcs, voice, etc.? I'm the developmental editor for you!


I have a degree in English and minors in editing and creative writing where I studied not only the nitty-gritty details of language but also what makes a good story and how to write compelling characters among other things. I have been beta reading since 2020 and doing developmental editing since 2022. I worked as an acquisitions editor for a science fiction and fantasy magazine, and I've written two of my own novels.


Things I typically look for in a developmental edit:

  • Plot arcs 
  • Character arcs 
  • Plot holes 
  • Clichés
  • Weak openings, scenes, & endings 
  • Pacing 
  • Timelines 
  • Worldbuilding 
  • Voice 
  • Reader reactions/emotions


**This does not include a line and copy edit/proofread. If you'd like that, it's available as a gig extra.


I specialize in YA, historical fiction, low-spice romance, science fiction, and fantasy books. I don't read erotic romance or sexually explicit content.

    Lexi has been wonderful. Her pricing is very fair for the services offered and it is evident she takes the time to review the job. Her feedback is well thought-out and to the point. Having her eyes on my work was invaluable for seeing some flaws I was blind to in my own read-throughs. Thorough work and timely, I hope to use Lexi again as my line editor.

    Lexi did an exceptional job on my developmental edit. She provided in-depth comments and feedback with external references that offered more guidance. She delivered the project on time and provided regular updates as she worked. Can't want to work with Lexi again!
