This includes: developmental, line and copy edits; beta reading and manuscript evaluations
Publishing Support
I help writers outlining a plan of action on how to publish, and where and how to submit. I also pitch select standout book manuscripts to publishers.

Testimonials
“It’s a rare and special feeling when an editor really ‘gets’ what you’re trying to do with your book. For me, Aishwarya was that editor. Her high-quality, detailed feedback on my manuscript was a testimony to both her keen editorial eye and her developed palate for horror fiction.”
Chandrima Das
Bestselling author and screenwriter
“Aishwarya did a wonderful job editing my short story. She even helped me tie a few loose ends together and pick a more meaningful title. All her edits were on point and her editorial comments were insightful.”
