“Shomit Mitter is the kind of reader that writers dream about".

Arundhati Roy, Booker Prize winning author of The God of Small Things


I met Shomit when, after many years as a film and television writer, I was setting out to write my first book. I was full of trepidation but it didn’t take me long to leave my fear and anxiety behind.  Shomit invites the kind of risk taking that can produce wonderful material in an atmosphere of trust. That is not to say he is coy about giving feedback.  He tells the truth.  Unerringly.  But the reason one is still standing after a session of notes is that it is always clear he is doing it for the betterment of the work.  And it does get better!

Shomit is an editor of quite unusual intelligence with a deep sensitivity to the craft. He has the intellectual capacity to embrace the paradoxical and to celebrate the mysterious. I am hugely grateful to him for all he has done to help me arrive at something I truly could not have achieved on my own.
