Samarpita Mukherjee Sharma has edited two books for me, my collection of short stories, Of Swans and Songs, and a yet to be published novel.
She painstakingly pored over, proofread and edited every successive draft of my manuscript, suggesting valuable changes/corrections, all of which reflect her diligence and commitment to her client as also her exceptional professional competence.
She went beyond her role of editor to help me sort some of my computer related issues. She generously invested her time and energy in helping me get my work published, suggesting literary agents and publishing houses, and also put me in touch with reviewers.
Working with her was an absolutely stress-free and extremely pleasant and productive experience.

Samarpita has been a great help in getting my book edited. Her insights made me look at a few things in a different way and has brought out the character in my manuscript. She has been really helpful even after having the document back from the publishers, in reviewing and indicating where it could be improved. I’m looking forward to getting my future books edited by her, as well.

Anyone writing his first book is always in two minds about how to take it ahead, In my case, for my first book ‘Different Beads of The Same String’ it was more so because I was going through a medical condition which required a surgery. But I also wanted to make sure that my book releases before that, and hence I not only wanted quality edit but time was an essence too.

That is when I was referred to Samarpita. Not only were her suggestions noteworthy, but the quality of her work was great too. And not only that, she ensured a lightening quick turnaround time as well, without really compromising on the quality.

Needless to say that I had no second thoughts in approaching her for my second book ‘The Sameness in Consistent Change’. Samarpita’s work is exhaustive and her suggestions are in line with the theme of the story. I am happy that I got in touch with her because she helped e shape my work with great precision.

I have known Samarpita di for a long time now. She’s been my mentor when it comes to writing, and also when it comes to life. When I was asked to get an editor for my novel, All Signs Lead Back To You, she was the person I turned to blindly. She helped me clear the clutter that was Ashwin and Diya’s story, and tell the story i wanted to tell. When it comes to editing, Sam di is your person! Being an author myself, I know how scary it is to leave your baby in someone else’s hands. Trust me, Sam di will know better than you how to treat your book.

If you are looking for an editor who does more than just clean up the manuscript, Samarpita is your person. Right from bridging gaps in the plot to development of characters,  she has played an important role making ‘A Cage of Desires’ the book that it is. Her passion for books and reading has given her an in-depth perspective of storytelling, which she brings to her editing. Whether you are an aspiring author or an established one, I strongly recommend her editing services.
