I hold a BA and MA in English and Literature from Delhi University (baccalaureate minor: Creative Writing). I'm an avid reader, adore puzzles, and am always looking for challenges that synthesize creativity, cleverness, and the meticulous application of usage & grammar conventions. While I have extensive experience with proofreading and copy editing, I also specialize in developmental editing. In this more advanced endeavor, an editor works to find and nurture a writer's authentic voice and style; the editor also guides the writer through story development and structural choices. Developmental editing still requires an impeccable knowledge of grammar and convention to ensure documents possess clarity, precision, and polish. Authors interested in pursuing publication will be happy to note that I am highly familiar with query letter requirements and formatting.
