I have an MFA in creative writing from USF and am hard at work on my first book, oof hopefully several. While I do that, what I love – and what I miss the most about being part of the writing community in the Bay Area (I left my heart behind there) – is immersing myself in the words of those, who, like me, are finding their voice through their writing. I offer manuscript consultancy, for books that need editing and crafting help, written by to-be authors who write/have written their books with an intent to publish. I accept only a handful of projects every year, and I work with only one author at a time.

You can read about how I got into this here.

I have over 15 years of experience crafting stories and narratives for various media (print, digital, and social media), and an MFA in creative writing from the University of San Francisco. While I have also dabbled with narrativizing video stories in the online media space, my superpower remains black on white. But the editor in me — red pen in hand, binaural beats in ear, and bifocals on nose — reigns supreme.

Added to this, I also design websites and offer social media strategy consultancy because, in these times, having a distinct online presence is the need of the hour for businesses and brands of all sizes.

If you have a book-length project you are hoping to publish (traditional or self) and need a writerly ally with keen editorial insight, a writing partner to align with you to establish a writing discipline, or a website design ninja with a solid foundation in SEO, social media principles, and online brand building expertise, drop me a line to sumawrites@gmail.com.
