FAQ
What is your background?
I have an MFA and MA in Creative Writing from Minnesota State University (Mankato) and Kingston University (London) respectively. I also have a BA in English Literature from Tezpur University (India).
What kind of writing and editing do you specialize in?
My writing and editing expertise spans a wide variety of styles. Whether your needs are creative (like novels, stories, poems), or professional (like resumes and cover letters) or journalistic or social media, I've got you covered.
How can I contact you?
What kind of services do you provide?
I provide professional services in four main areas: Writing, Editing, Reviewing, and Mentorship. Visit the Services page for more information.
What are the benefits of the review/assessment and mentorship/tutoring services?
The one-on-one sessions guarantee a dedicated and focused experience, allowing me to connect with you and your project on a deeper level and have your concerns and questions resolved in real time. The review and assessment services makes sure your documents are polished and in the best possible shape they can be.
What are your rates like?
Absolutely! If you are an author or artist of any kind and want me to write a review for your new book, play, movie, exhibition, etc, please email me or submit a request through my contact form. If you want to read some of my published reviews, here is one for a cannibal-horror novel, one for a memoir, one for a sci-fi horror movie, and one for a thriller movie.
Do you write promotional reviews? I have a new project I want reviewed!
Rates are based on specific project requirements. Approximate prices for all of my services can be found here. But keep in mind that you will receive an unique quote based on your project requirements and delivery timeline. You can always negotiate with me. I'm an independent artist and understand the difficulties of affording professional services.
Why should I pay you to write my resume when I can ask ChatGPT?
I'm a Certified Professional Resume Writer and have not only delivered hundreds of resumes and cover letters to satisfied clients but also coached and led a team of resume writers when I was working for career.io. ChatGPT and AI are becoming alternatives to more and more services, undoubtedly. So the question is this: Do you want the expertise of a human being or an AI model? Do you want the environment to suffer simply because you want the easy (not the best) way out? No AI model will take care of your specific needs like a human being will, just FYI.
What is the guarantee that I'll be satisfied with the end results? Do I get a refund if I'm not?
The best way to contact me is via this contact form. Alternatively, you can email me at contact@priyanujmazumdar.com
My services are backed by a global education spanning the US, UK, and India under some of the best authors and professors, editorial experience in 6+ top literary journals like The Adroit Journal, JMWW, Iron Horse, etc, and university teaching experience in English and Creative Writing to hundreds of students in the US for 3+ years. I'm confident of delivering a high-quality product and accomplishing the goals of your project with collaboration and communication. I'm willing to work with you as long as required to achieve that. If you are absolutely certain I can't help you fulfil the needs of your project, I'm willing to issue a partial refund.
