You've finished your manuscript, but you're too close to the story to see what readers will experience. That's where I help. I work with fiction authors who want honest, constructive feedback before publishing or submitting their manuscripts. Through developmental editing and beta reading, I help identify pacing issues, plot inconsistencies, weak character development, confusing scenes, and other problems that can prevent a story from fully connecting with readers. I've completed 25+ book editing and beta reading projects on Upwork, helping authors strengthen their manuscripts while preserving their unique voice and creative vision. When reviewing your manuscript, I focus on questions readers naturally ask: • Does the story keep me engaged? • Do the characters feel believable? • Are there plot holes or confusing moments? • Does the pacing keep the story moving? • Are there scenes that feel unnecessary or underdeveloped? You'll receive clear, actionable feedback designed to help you understand what's working, what isn't, and where improvements can make the biggest impact. Services include: • Developmental Editing • Beta Reading • Line Editing • Manuscript Critiques My goal isn't to rewrite your story. My goal is to help you create the strongest version of it. If you're looking for thoughtful editorial feedback from both an editor's and a reader's perspective, I'd be happy to discuss your manuscript.

Hi there! My name is Audrey, and I am an SNHU graduate with a bachelor's degree in creative writing. I have provided line editing, beta reading, and light proofreading for years and have experience all across the board. I have worked in fiction and nonfiction. YA and adult fantasy, horror, romance, sci-fi, suspense, thriller- pretty much all of the genres. There are a lot of nonfiction projects that I have done as well- cookbooks, field guides, psychology, wine lore, etc. If you write it, I will read it and help polish it to a shine.

I am a Clinical Psychologist (CBT Therapist) located in Grecce and I can translate any document from English to Greek and vice versa, because I am from Greece and I have studied abroad. I love reading books in English so I decided to search for more ways to learn! Reading is something I do everyday and it's literally my passion so I became a Translator. I am also an experienced BetaReader and Proofreader. I work as a Translator in 2 online platforms and I write reviews for a local bookshop. Also, I used to write in an online Journal for subjects such as psychology and Special Education. As you can understand I love reading and writing so I also had my own blog, where I wrote for a variety of topics. I have also worked in the data entry section and in costumer service (through live chat end e-mails) as a side job for 2 years. Last but not least I am a licensed English tutor and I help people who either want to improve their English, or they want to learn Greek. I have a lot of free time so I can work fast and efficiently. Feel free to contact me!

I hold bachelors and masters degrees in creative writing and have over 5 years of experience with workshopping and nurturing the work of fellow writers and storytellers, so I will make it my priority to help you realize your vision for your manuscript. I bring a wealth of expertise in providing comprehensive, usable feedback on a writer’s work from my years teaching creative writing at the university level. I have also worked as fiction editor for a literary magazine and won awards for my writing. Whether you are looking for a general reader’s perspective on your draft or more structured developmental edits for your manuscript, I will be able to provide it in a professional, accessible, and timely manner. You deserve a manuscript that will knock their socks off. I’m here to help you render them sock-less.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing (with a Minor in Communications) from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I took rigorous courses in both academic writing, research, and creative writing. I specialized in poetry. I served on the school's literary journal, the Sheepshead Review, for two years, or four semesters. For three of those semesters I was on the editing team. I was the nonfiction editor one semester, and then co-chief and chief copyeditor for two semesters, respectively. I'm very good at looking through things and finding flaws, as well as rewording sentences so they make more sense. I'm also very good at casual writing and writing poetry, short stories, and articles for newspapers, which would translate over to blogs. If I have to do a little research, that's no problem. I once had to write a ten page research paper, so this is no big deal! I have been on Upwork for over 6 years now and I have edited over 160 manuscripts. I am the listed editor on the book AEGIS by Aether Quinn and registered in Bowker's databases (where the ISBNs for the book came from). In my downtime I'm a huge nerd who reads, plays video games, and is into other geeky culture. I'm also a wife and have an adorable calico cat named Leliana. I very much look forward to working with anyone who is interested. I look forward to hearing from you!

My skills include beta reading, editing, and proofreading a piece of work. I pay attention to details and understand spelling, punctuation, and grammar. I also have skills in storytelling and how to make the plot, characters, and story flow better. I am hard-working, timely, and a good communicator. I have a Bachelors of Arts in English and Creative Writing. I am passionate about storytelling and I'd love to help make any piece the best it can be.

I'm a beta reader and editorial reviewer specializing in character-driven fiction and reader-focused nonfiction. I will not work on manuscripts that are written or edited with AI. When I review a manuscript, I read carefully while taking live notes on anything that stands out; including strengths, confusing moments, plot inconsistencies, character development, pacing, and emotional flow. After finishing the full piece, I compile those notes into a clear, structured feedback report, often organized by category (e.g., plot, character, tone, pacing) with detailed explanations behind each point. I’ve worked with writers at all stages, offering everything from big-picture story critiques to detailed notes on pacing, plot holes, and character arcs. My feedback is thorough yet supportive, and designed to help you bring out the strongest version of your work without losing your unique voice. Let me show you how effective my edits can be!
