FAQ

Straight answers on how the work happens, what it costs, and who owns it.

Common Questions

Before we speak.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. An NDA is signed before any work begins and before any story is shared. I have never disclosed a client relationship without explicit consent, and I never will. Several of my most significant projects are not on this page for precisely that reason.

Who owns the final work?

You do. Entirely. All copyright transfers to you upon final payment. My name appears nowhere unless you choose to credit me. The work is yours, the voice is yours, and the story is yours.

How long does a book or memoir take?

A full memoir or biography typically takes six to twelve months, depending on complexity and your availability for interview sessions. I do not rush work that is meant to last.

Do you work with clients outside India?

Yes. I regularly work with Indian founders and families based in the USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, and Canada. All meetings are conducted remotely. The work travels. The depth does not diminish with distance.

Can you help get the book published?

I am a writer, not a literary agent. I can advise on the publishing landscape and make introductions where appropriate, but I do not represent manuscripts or promise publication outcomes. My commitment is to the quality of the work, not its commercial placement.

How do I know if we are a fit?

One conversation tells both of us. I am looking for stories that genuinely matter. People with real depth, not just interesting credentials. If after our first call I do not believe I can serve the work well, I will say so honestly and we will part with mutual respect.

What does the first conversation look like?

It is not a sales call. I will ask you about the story, not the project brief, not the desired word count, not the target audience. The story. What happened, what it cost you, what it gave you, and why it matters that someone else eventually reads it.

How many clients do you take at once?

Two to three, at most. This is not a marketing position. It is a structural reality. The work requires full attention. I will not divide that attention across more projects than I can carry with complete presence.
