Know your editor (and her shelf)
Hello! I’m Shruti.
Freelance Editor, Children’s Book Author, Oxford Comma Believer, Stickler

I’m based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, and am a bilingual (English & Hindi) with a Masters’ degree in English.
I don’t have decades of experience behind me in the editing industry, but I have been called meticulous since I was 12 because of my keen eye for errors and details that are commonly missed in typed text.
Being a self-published author and a voracious reader, I understand how words (and which words exactly) can be moulded to fit perfectly into a story. I proofread, copyedit, and also offer honest reviews and constructive suggestions to make any kind of text blossom to its full potential.
I am a member of ACES and the Indian Copyeditors Forum (ICF), which helps me keep up with the latest in the world of editing and publishing books.
Although my primary passion is children’s literature (tween lit to be precise), over the last three years, I’ve worked on a variety of writing, including:
- Novels
- Non-fiction
- Autobiography
- Poetry anthologies
- Legal textbooks
- Academic writing
- Submission packages/query letters
Whether you’ve just completed writing that book or an academic thesis, I can help you add the finishing touches to your document so you can display it with pride!
