Sumita Mukherji

Developmental Editor and Book Coach

Bio

Welcome! I'm Sumita, an experienced developmental editor, line editor, and book coach, and I would love to help you realize your vision for your book. For years I worked at a university press as an editorial and production director. I've worked with first-time authors on their literary fiction, memoirs, and academic books in the humanities, and with more experienced authors as well. I'm also a published writer of literary fiction. And here's a little more about me: I love cooking competition shows, ornery cats, and making blanket forts with my spouse and daughter. I also love reading and analyzing stories and movies. Please email me to set up a free, twenty-minute introductory video or phone call so that we can further discuss your vision. I'm also happy to do a complimentary edit of a few sample pages of your manuscript along with a free call.
