Introduction: Welcome! My name is Sydney. I'm a television writer with 10 years of professional writing and editing experience. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Cinema Studies with a minor in Screenwriting at USC's School of Cinematic Arts, graduating Cum Laude in 2016. My first job out of college was at United Talent Agency where I was a Partner's Assistant in the Television Literary Department. After a year and a half at UTA, I worked as a Writers' PA, Showrunner's Assistant, Writers' Assistant, and (currently) Script Coordinator at companies like Netflix, HBO, Amazon, and (currently) Hulu. I also interned at the following throughout my college career: Universal Studios, Lionsgate Entertainment, TBS/TNT, and Sony Comedy Television. Aside from working at my current job, I've been adding to my writing portfolio and have also started a podcast! That all being said, l have tons of experience working in media, writing, and entertainment. I'm happy and excited to assist you in your professional/personal writing endeavors!

I am writing a novel, and the story happens in a foreign country. She is excellent in translating foreign idioms into English language. She always provides complete and flawless writing materials, and she is always on time. I am very happy that I work with her.

Sydney was fantastic to work with! I’m comfortable writing speeches myself but wanted to finesse a maid of honor speech and Sydney helped me do exactly that. She did a great job of adding and smoothing parts while mirroring my tone and helped me add a few jokes and transitions. Sydney was very responsive, reasonable, clear, and made a stressful speech much easier. Thank you!!

Prompt Service and Trustworthy. Sydney is the best, confident and professional. I couldn’t be happier with the results, from start to finish. Everything is beyond my expectations- she even completed the part of what I should be doing, without feeling hesitant when I asked. That was an extra work for her- I’m so thankful for that. I appreciate her hard work and the customer service she provided me. Sydney has helped me with the Go-Fund-Me project. She made it possible and easy for me. All I did was to provide the information she needed. By just talking to her, you can tell she has that “can-do” attitude. I highly recommend her😃

Sydney is an amazing teacher of her craft and immensely helpful! I feel I have genuinely improved in my writing and editing skills thanks to Sydney’s guidance and experience she brought to our sessions. She is patient and humble, helping through concepts and listening to the goal/essence and seamlessly helping me formulate these thoughts into the best words possible. Her writing is eloquent, clever and clear and I’m happy to have absorbed some of this knowledge from her. Not to mention, she’s a very funny and a kind person. Highly recommend Sydney!
