About

Using my passion for words to help build better books.

I'm a voracious reader, occasional writer and a lover of language.

I owe my language skills to a lifetime of obsessive reading. I love words and understand how the right one can make all the difference; I admire sentences that are elegant and convey just what is needed; I respect prose that complies perfectly with grammar rules. If these are the things you wish for your article/story/novel to have, I can help you achieve that.

While I am new on the freelancing circuit, I do have prior experience with editing a manuscript of 100,000+ words. While I cannot share that work due to contractual obligations, I can assure you that the feedback I received for it was very positive, and was what encouraged me to consider editing as a serious career choice.

Here's a testimonial snippet from the writer I worked for, Ms. Kavita Ramesh:

"Vidya has been more editor than beta reader, her skills falling under line/content editing. She is a pro at the rules of grammar, and her edits were so good that based on her suggestions, I rewrote my draft. The result is both sleeker and more refined."

I plan to focus exclusively on fiction novel manuscripts, since stories are what I'm most passionate about. So if you are a storyteller, work with me and I'll help you make every word, line, and plot element be the best it can be!

Feel free to message me if you want to know more :)
