About this Gig

Please contact me before you place an order!


I am an experienced Beta Reader who has strengths with developmental editing, particularly when it comes to character development and plot. I have quick turnaround times, I leave a lot of comments as I'm reading in the document, I provide a 1-2 Reader Response Report, and I also do light proofreading.


What you can expect working with me:


Editing Experience: As a former intern at a literary agency, I've worked with literary agents and not only have skills in developmental editing, beta reading, and line editing, but also have an idea of the market and what it is literary agents look for when they are reading a novel.


Detailed Feedback: I'm very thorough in my feedback. I will give a detailed report on plot, character development, world-building, and any specific aspects you'd like me to focus on. I will be sure to give constructive feedback and let you know strengths in addition to revision suggestions.


Timely Communication: I am a good communicator and will respond within one business day.


I will respect both your work and your time, and can't wait to read your work!

    Working with Sydney was my first time collaborating with a Fiverr editor, so I was nervous. However, Sydney was amazing to work with! She was very understanding, worked quickly and meticulously, and was enthusiastic about my project in a way that reignited my creativity to write more. I will definitely be working with her again in the future!
