CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“Tanya was a delight to work with. Diligent, thorough, responsive, and filled with good ideas, I very much enjoyed the experience of working with her as an editor. I felt she tightened things up where there were loose ends and gave great insights and asked pertinent questions that got me seeing my book from a reader's perspective. She is a consummate professional and I recommend her wholeheartedly.”
—Ginanne Brownell, author of Ghetto Classics: How a Youth Orchestra Changed a Nairobi Slum
“Tanya Muzumdar is an amazing editor and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her. From our very first email correspondence, I felt and knew that my book was in excellent hands. Her communication was not only caring and professional, but also thoughtful and encouraging. The work that I then received back from her exceeded my expectations.
To edit a book like Sing Like Never Before is no small feat—every chapter being entwined with integral artwork, storytelling, and nuanced explanations with specific and technical language. And yet Tanya met the challenge head-on, delivering an extremely helpful, thorough, and organized edit. It is clear she cares deeply about her work, and from start to finish I had every confidence in her. I strongly recommend Tanya to anyone seeking an editor for their book or writing project!”
—Justin Stoney, founder of New York Vocal Coaching and author of Sing Like Never Before, winner of a 2021 Eric Hoffer Book Award and a 2021 Gold winner in the Education category of the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards
“The challenge of editing my memoirs, Selling Light and The Light Seller, fell into the capable hands of Tanya Muzumdar. The Light Seller was my first manuscript and was written with little concept of the elements of good storytelling. Undaunted, Tanya took me by the hand and patiently led me down a path that resulted in a book that is far more compelling than what was originally written. And, in addition to her developmental skills, she can take a sentence or a paragraph and through some small change in wording or placement make the writing so much better. Working with her has been both gratifying and a great education.”
—David W. Swanson, author of Selling Light and The Light Seller
“Tanya provided focused, experienced, and nuanced help as we worked together to proofread my first novel. Because of the book's unusual format as a modern epistolary novel—with emails, court reports, police files, and other documentation—the proofreading project was more complicated than working with straight narrative text. I appreciated Tanya's professional approach to every page.”
—Martha Gershun, author of Care & Custody: A Novel of Three Children at Risk
“Knowledgeable, prompt, thorough, and a joy to work with, Tanya makes my manuscripts sparkle. I already look forward to collaborating with her on my next project.”
—John Wemlinger, author of Operation Light Switch, Winter's Bloom, and Before the Snow Flies (Winner of a 2019 Foreword Reviews Silver award)
“I've worked with a number of professional editors over the years and believe Tanya's work to be exceptional in every way, from concept to copyediting, line editing, and proofing. Her comments and suggestions are always positive in nature. Simply put, she's one of the best out there. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
—Katharine Crawford Robey, author of The Sleeping Bear Wakes Up, Where’s the Party, Hare and the Big Green Lawn, and Cardinal Coat and Other Stories.
“The process of bringing one’s first book to life is exciting and daunting all at once. As a neophyte in the publication world, I had no idea that writing the book was just half the experience. Tanya provided a very caring and professional editing contribution to my efforts. Her suggestions made the book so much better than when I first presented it to her. Her attention to detail and to the larger flow of the narrative is remarkable. I'm hoping we will have a chance to collaborate on my next book.”
—Ron Adams, author of The Inner Path: Calmness, Compassion, & Conversation in Turbulent Times
