“My novel was finished and fairly polished when it reached Gayatri’s hands. At this point, it had already been through one edit from my press’s editor, as well as another edit from a sensitivity editor. I felt there was little left for Gayatri to do, but after having several conversations with her about the manuscript, something told me that I should hire her. 

From page one, I knew I had made the right choice. Gayatri combed through every name, every word, and every phrase, and pointed out even the smallest inaccuracies or inconsistencies in the manuscript. She double checked sources to determine cultural or historical authenticity. She challenged me on making the manuscript as nuanced and exacting as possible. She went beyond telling me what didn’t work, she helped me figure out what did work. I have hired several independent editors in the past. So few have read my pages this scrupulously. 

If I were to show you the “before” and “after” manuscript, you’d notice several very small revisions. But in reality, Gayatri has helped me to craft a brand new manuscript, one that ensures authenticity and cultural continuity. She has brought my manuscript to a place that I couldn’t have myself. I am so grateful for her expertise, and look forward to working with her many more times in the future. I firmly believe that my work would not be what it is today without Gayatri’s guidance.”
