About Bhaskar Raman

If you’re looking for someone who can make words paint a picture and images tell a story, give me a call. And if you want someone who can shepherd your work from a raw manuscript on your desktop to a shiny new release on the bookstands, drop me a message. And if you want someone to play board games with, I might be your new best friend. Hi, my name is Bhaskar and I’m a recovering engineer. During college, when I should have been immersing electrodes in salt solutions, I was busy immersing myself in Wodehouse, Tolkien and Tagore. Words were my best friend growing up, my escape from the colourless world of chemical engineering, my passport to one of the world’s best journalism schools, the bricks with which I built a career working with some of the biggest names in academia, publishing and journalism. Words remain to this day the greatest love of my life. The runner up, naturally, is ginger tea. Since the I’ve personally copy edited more than 100 (and overseen work on over books, as well as a large number of articles for newspapers, magazines and academic journals. I’ve also designed and typeset pages for about a dozen newspapers, journals and magazines. I’ve set up news desks and publishing operations, reimagined processes to make them exponentially more efficient and cost-effective, assembled and led teams of highly skilled and motivated copyeditors and typesetters, and been the go-to guy to deal with both difficult texts and difficult people. So if you’ve got some words in need of tender love and care, do get in touch. I can help you brighten them up and make them really fizz, and clothe them in beautiful designs so they make the best possible impact. I can even take charge of the whole editorial production process for you - from your word processor to the printer. Whether or not we end up working together, I promise to help perk up your project as well as your day. Book a free consultation at https://calendly.com/bredits/30min.
