I’m available for writing & editing help!

As someone who had to figure out my way around the publishing industry, I offer guidance to writers hoping to get their manuscripts out there by offering one-on-one meetings to talk about your journey, read writing and offer feedback (this part for a small fee), and FREE bi-weekly group meetings in New Haven at Possible Futures bookstore with agents, editors, and writers. For one-on-one consultations, feel free to email me at paramitapadya@gmail.com. I offer the following:

• Manuscript consultations and editing

• Query letter advice & editing

• MFA application advice & support

• Edits on short for pieces

I’m also available for guest lectures and teaching. I have taught at the University of New Haven and Southern Connecticut State University. I also have experience speaking at Clark University, Dominican University Chicago & Avenues the World School. Full CV available upon request.

MANUSCRIPT MEETUP GROUP EVENTS

These sessions with other writers (often with a guest speaker) cover the individual journey through writing, finding an agent, and subsequent steps. I also have editing experience through literary magazines, writing workshops, and work as an admissions counselor. Check below for upcoming group event dates. They are free to attend and open to writers of all experience levels.
