Daisuke S. – Editor

I am a writer, educator, and editor based in New York City.

As a fiction editor, I offer developmental and copy editing services for short stories and full-length manuscripts, specializing in works geared toward the speculative and experimental. Throughout our collaboration, I will provide extensive feedback on your work, including suggestions for plot improvements, character development, pacing, and more.

As a writer, I am represented by Michael Mungiello at Inkwell Management. My debut short story collection, Vague Predictions and Prophecies, was published in August 2024 with CLASH Books, and was named one of Electric Literature's "Most Exciting Debut Short Story Collections of 2024". My novella FUNERAL, co-authored with Vi Khi Nao, was published by KERNPUNKT Press in Jan. 2023, and received favorable reviews and interviews in The Southwest Review, The Rumpus, and The Independent Book Review . My short stories and poems have been published in a number of literary journals and magazines, including Joyland Magazine, Hobart After Dark, The Nervous Breakdown, The Asian American Literary Review, and more.

I’m looking to work with writers who aren’t afraid to break the rules—bending genres, building different worlds, and seeking out complex truths.
