About me

Are you an editorial freelancer eager to learn the tips and tricks of the trade? If yes, connect with me. Are you looking for a copyeditor who can edit your content? If yes, message me. Are you looking for opportunities to connect with other freelancers? If yes, join my Facebook group Indian copyeditors Forum. Are you looking for copyediting training? If yes, connect with me. Are you an-house editor who wants to explore the world of freelancing? If yes, let's talk. Copyediting is something that not everybody can do and also not something that everybody can be taught. I was fortunate to have Dr Anantharaman Venkataraman as my boss whose on-the-job training modules in copyediting (particularly language editing) made me what I am---a pretty good copyeditor but still not the ideal one (not that it exists, it does not!). I am sure others too can now benefit from my mentor's training venture that offers 22 courses (theartofcopyediting.com). I am doubly fortunate to have Karen Judd (author of Copyediting: A Practical Guide) as my friend, philosopher, and guide. I came in touch with her when I reviewed the second edition of her book and gave her a few suggestions, which she graciously accepted. I started the Facebook group Indian Copyeditors Forum, a group for Indian editors, and its aim is to share knowledge, ideas, thoughts, and resources among its members. It encourages freelance and full-time editors to engage in active networking and hopes to create a culture of meaningful and sustained interaction. The Forum invites editors to share successes and pitfalls of freelancing, give warnings (always discreetly), ask questions, and discuss oddly written sentences, other editorial bugbears, and any other professional concerns. India has wonderful editorial talent, so let's get it together to display our high editorial standards and promote the professional status of freelance and full-time editors.
