Hello,

A picture of developmental editor, book coach, and writer Sumita Mukherji, who is South Asian and female.

I’m an editor, book coach, and writer who lives in Eastern Massachusetts. My literary writing delves into race and family and personal relationships, and explores how these themes intersect with the complexities of empathy and forgiveness. I’m currently working on a novel, and my pronouns are she/her/hers.

My work has been supported by a Bread Loaf scholarship and Hedgebrook residency, and I have an MFA in fiction writing from Warren Wilson College. Feel free to check out my publications. I’ve also served on the board of directors for Salamander Magazine and have been a teaching scholar at the Muse and Marketplace Conference.
