Antara Dutt Email & Phone Number

My postgraduate degree in English literature has allowed me to look within the workings of a text, an ever-present critical eye that demands to upend a work and find its very pulse. This has meant that I have also been drawn towards how and what goes on before a book arrives in our hands. Working as a professional freelance editor gives me the opportunity to delve into the realm of publishing, into the behind-the-scenes.I've had the privilege of collaborating with traditional publishers, including Penguin Random House USA, Dorling Kindersley UK, HarperCollins India, Oxford India, Hodder & Stoughton UK, and the Quarto Group USA, as well as working with talented self-published authors.When not reading or editing, I spend most of my time binge-watching pop culture video essays, panicking about the climate emergency and taking deep breaths about it.Editorial Services:Available for proofreading, copyediting, and developmental editing, with a passion for enhancing the readers’ experience while being compassionate to the author. Additionally, I offer sensitivity or authenticity reads or DE&I assessments, particularly focused on Indian culture, the colonization of India, the partition of India, and the Indian Bengali experience.
