The Manuscript Review session with Yoda Press was one of the best decisions I took for my manuscript. The edits suggested by Arpita were extremely useful and it has helped me bring down my word count and improve my prose. I was able to discuss all my queries and received guidance for both developmental edit as well as line edits. And although I read craft books quite extensively, the suggestions made by her are not covered elsewhere. Thanks to Arpita for the transparency and the warmth with which she evaluates the work.

The sessions by Yoda Press is an act of kindness. An opportunity to discuss the roadblocks to your publishing journey and get an industry veteran, like Arpita Das, to hear you out is invaluable. One can only emerge rich, having spent an hour with her.

About me

Founded in 2004 with an alternative publishing vision, Yoda Press aims to create lists around subjects which are not usually a priority for other publishers in India, even though they have a critical presence in contemporary discourse, authorship and an audience. Yoda Press is known for publishing on subjects such as sexuality, popular culture, cities and urbanism, architecture as a lived experience, and new perspectives in Indian history and sociology. Our LGBT list and Sexualities series have been the preferred home for cutting-edge writing in alternative sexuality since 2005. In August 2015, we initiated a joint imprint with Sage Publications for our academic titles, SAGE-YODA PRESS. Yoda Press launched its Fiction list in December 2016. Yoda Press founded a brand new joint imprint for its trade titles with Simon and Schuster India in early 2020. On Topmate, we offer you the chance to interact with us through one-on-ones, workshops, and webinars! We bring personal and professional insights and training for all things publishing, and how you make your own way in the publishing world.
