Sydney Weinberg – Editor

As an experienced editor of literary fiction, genre fiction and narrative non-fiction, I can help you find the authentic contours of your novel or memoir.

My editorial approach is attentive, insightful and empathic, guided by established craft techniques but primarily responsive to your individual voice and vision. With a multicultural background and additional experience in literary translation, I bring sensitivity and precision to all my projects.

I primarily offer developmental edits, manuscript assessments and coaching. My written reports are longer and more detailed than the industry standard; my goal is not just to improve the work before me, but to give my clients the tools they need to become better writers. I always include sample edits or excerpts from past work in my offers, so you can see what I do. I work with clients at all levels, from complete beginners to established authors.

If you're interested in coaching, please describe what you need help with and include a brief writing sample. I specialise in helping people move through stuck periods, whether that's an emotional block or a stalled plot.

I'm looking forward to reading your story!
