Amber Qureshi – Editor

I've worked at the biggest NYC publishing houses on every kind of narrative project there is, including the Booker Prize-winning bestseller The White Tiger, the Orange Prize-winning Small Island, and Voices from Chernobyl, whose author won the Nobel Prize in 2015. My journalism has been published in The Guardian, Conde Nast Traveler, and other major media outlets, and I continue to write for hire when my editing schedule allows.

I see editing as an open-ended conversation: I read an author's work more closely than anyone else will, questioning and suggesting as much as possible, in order to make sure that the work accomplishes whatever the author wants it to do. Authors tend to like this. I can make your text sound polished and professional, bringing your ideas and your message to the forefront, where they belong.
