Brown Study is a thought initiative that aims to produce value through words. It is the optimum state of deep thoughtfulness for a writer, from where creativity sparks. We love the nuances of language and the craft of writing in all its glory.

I am Avani Pandya, the founding editor at Brown Study. I write as well - fiction and a bit of poetry. I founded Brown Study in 2015, with the purpose of entering the Indian editing space with sentence-level expertise to help independent and self-publishing writers hone their craft and tell their stories. Whether you're a newbie working on your early drafts or you're a seasoned author doling out your twelfth novel, I am excited to read your work, work together, and match your writing talent with my editorial prowess.    

​

Our services are catered to poets, writers of fiction and narrative non-fiction, mainstream publishing houses, and anyone who relies on compelling words to tell their stories and make an impact.

WHAT WE OFFER

Complete manuscript editing services from coaching to copy-editing to pre-publication proofreading.

MEET AVANI

Fiction writer, editor, and art-lover.

With an academic and professional background in literature and applied linguistics, and over 11 years of experience in the industry, I have my toes sunk deep into the world of writing and publishing. Apart from editing, I write fiction, narrative non-fiction, and poetry.

​

I sketch and read for pleasure. I fancy playing the ukulele (albeit poorly), when I'm not working.

​

I'm a member of the American Copy Editors Society (ACES) and the Indian Copyeditors Forum (ICF).
