Shradha Biyani – Editor

Harvard-educated book coach & editor. Literary nonfiction, business, culture, memoir, self-help. Working with authors from around the world.

Overview

Hello there,

I’m a book coach, writer and editor with a decade of experience working with independent writers and publishers such as Pan Macmillan, Penguin Random House and Westland Books. I’m a trained journalist and an urban planner with a Masters degree from Harvard University.

I'm a gentle, diligent and devoted coach and editor. I love helping opinion makers and creative thinkers translate their expertise and knowledge into powerful books. I have worked the early morning shift in a bakery, the last minute hustle of a news room and countless spreadsheets at the Olympics committee. I have lived in half a dozen countries and I love nothing more than a story well-told and a book well-worn.

I'm incredibly passionate about working with authors and books. If you have a book idea that you’re struggling to find the right words or direction for, then please get in touch. I’d love to work with you on your book!

"Shradha is an excellent editor. A consummate professional with an excellent attitude, she is keen to understand the context and ideas underlying the contents of what she is editing. Her contributions thus go beyond simple edits and add significant value. It has been a pleasure working with her on our book ." - Rajat Nag, Author - From Here to Denmark

"I worked with Shradha for my first book. She has been a great help and she is easy to work with. She puts herself into the shoes of the author and tries to build the author's essence and authenticity in the writing, whilst at the same time, encouraging and motivating the author to the right outcome. She is also a great editor, copywriter, and fun to be with. I will strongly recommend Shradha if you are a newbie to the world of writing a book and need a good book coach to help you in this journey!" - Siew Ting Foo, Author - Building Brands with Soul

"My maiden book A Remarkable Friendship, a memoir, was published by Macmillan in 2020. Those were difficult times during Covid. Shradha was that sliver of light who edited my book. With a sharp eye, deep understanding and helpful suggestions she did a superlative job. I am sure her command over her medium and her meticulousness will benefit all who approach her." - Yogi Vaid, Author - A Remarkable Friendship
