Developmental and line editing
"This book would not have come to its present form without the hard work and perseverance of my editor Sumedha Kshirsagar. Draft after draft, she provided valuable comments that helped me in making the manuscript readable for a wide range of audiences. She delivered effective suggestions about everything from arranging the material, replacing archaic words, and re-thinking about chapters' themes to footnotes, indexing, and cover design."​

She thoroughly researched existing content, application requirements and understood Rasik’s goals and mission. Starting with a very rough draft, she refined the application with precise and balanced responses. Her work was a tremendous aid under a tight deadline and word limit!"
