Jay Antani
I’m an editorial veteran with more than sixteen years of experience as a journalist, professional writer, editor, and fiction writer.
I specialize in editing memoirs, literary fiction, horror, science fiction, thrillers, contemporary fiction, and YA. As an author and a professional writer/editor, I’m passionate about words and sentences and well-told stories. For me, it’s at the level of words and sentences and paragraphs that the magic happens; the right word, the right tone, knowing where to expand and where to trim can make all the difference between a merely functional piece of writing and a great story you can take pride in. I would love to help you take your book to that level.
I’m also an author myself. My latest books include the sci-fi thriller Edge of Light, (2020), to which I’m currently writing the sequel, and the interstellar survival adventure, Transcendent (2023) . My 2014 debut, a coming-of-age saga called The Leaving of Things (Lake Union), won the International Book Award and the Kindle Book Award and became an Amazon bestseller.
