It is not uncommon to feel confused about what kind of help will suit you best. Please fill in this form, and we will be in touch for further conversations.

For starters, please fill in this form to tell us a little more about what you’re working on and the kind of help you will benefit from. We will then be in touch for further conversations.

All forms of creative prose typically written for adults are welcome: novel, collection of short stories, memoirs, narrative nonfiction. Genre no bar. It could be literary or commercial, crime or romance or fantasy. The goal is to tell a good story in the best way possible.

Please note that we do not edit poetry, picture books, children’s fiction, and pieces of journalism.

The short answer is no. A good story can come from anywhere and be told by anyone. We are big believers in diversity of all kinds. Santanu is a queer global majority writer himself, and much of his writing addresses themes relating to this intersectional identity. We especially welcome under-represented voices and untold stories. Understanding cultural context is a key part of the editorial process, and we will learn from you before diving in.

Yes. Everyone is welcome to seek collaboration, regardless of whatever stage of the writing journey they are at. Across the board, we maintain utmost confidentiality of your work and personal details.

Not really. We focus on working on the piece at hand, and making it the best it possibly can.

Turnaround times can differ based on the length of your submission, the service and other workload. We will work with you to agree a timeline before starting the process.

While there is some editorial help out there, it is still rare to work directly with an author who has written and published multiple books and short pieces, and understands the nuances of the writing process and industry expectations. The approach we take is broad and deep, tailored to the work at hand, and your inspirations and motivations for writing it.

Once we understand your work and needs, we will discuss with you a potential pricing for how we think we can work best together. Please fill in this form for starters, and we will take it from there.

While we are not in a position to offer scholarships at this time, and we do not work directly with grant-making organisations, we encourage you to apply for grants yourself and use the resources for developing your writing, if you so wish. However, we may be able to offer discounts in specific contexts. Please fill in this form to tell us more about yourself.
