…writer, editor, book editor, and website design/content consultant. I have an MFA in creative writing from USF and am hard at work on my first book. 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 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 sumareads@gmail.com.
