I am an editor specializing in technical and academic publications. I have offered my services to professors of strategy and marketing across 15 universities worldwide. I have collaborated with them on editing their academic publications, teaching materials, books, and websites.
Previously, I was part of the team that launched ESPNcricinfo's first long-form digital magazine, The Cricket Monthly. Between 2009 and 2012, I worked as a copy editor at Dow Jones Newswires.
Testimonials:
J. Hugh Liedtke Professor of Management – Marketing, Jones Graduate School of Business, Rice University
Siddhartha is a wonderful editorial partner at all stages of writing. I have worked with him on more than 20 projects since 2019. These have ranged from copy editing articles for some of the top journals in my field, drafts of a book, notes to reviewers, and countless other manuscripts. I have found him to be very detail oriented, carefully following instructions that vary from journal to journal. He always delivers on time, even when the deadline is tight. I quite welcome his ability to spruce up the writing, energize it, and and make it direct without changing the meaning.
Joe Foster' 56 Chair in Business Leadership
Professor of Marketing, Texas A&M University
Siddhartha has helped my entire research team with proofing and copy-editing and has worked on more than 50 projects with us. Sid is the perfect person for the job in many ways. His attention to detail is excellent, stemming from his background as an engineer and nearly two decades of being an accomplished journalist. He has extensive experience in research-based, long-form writing and is able to appreciate the nuances of technical writing. He always delivers on time, and as a researcher balancing multiple deadlines, I can't tell you what a relief it is to have someone understand the importance of being flexible with deadlines. The best testimonial I can give Sid is that I did not want to write this public review since the secret that he is so brilliant will be out!
Assistant Professor of Marketing, Baylor University
Siddhartha is professional, thorough, and attuned to the needs of academic writing. He not only copy edits, but rightfully questions the meaning of the paper to ensure he’s coaching you to make the best improvements possible to your writing. He saves me hours of work knowing that he will catch anything I miss. On top of all of this, he’s flexible and I am sure has given up nights and weekends to ensure my research teams meet deadlines. I would recommend him to anyone, but would also happily keep him a hidden secret!
Author Upon A Sleepless Isle, Sri Lanka correspondent ESPNcricinfo
Siddhartha was my editor during my first forays into long-form writing, and I was immediately struck by his wonderful intuition for the structure of a story, and his sharp eye for its details. I had long admired his writing, but as an editor, he taught me not only how to give form to narratives, but also valuable fundamentals on texture and pacing. I carry his lessons with me every time I write.
