Bio
Katel LeDu
Kumari is a talented, thoughtful, and caring editor. She prioritizes person-first language, which has been very important to us at A Book Apart as a publisher, and was essential to the work Kumari did on our 2022 title, Inclusive Design Communities. As an editor, Kumari brings attention to detail while considering the larger vision of a project. She edits at the copy and line level with intention, and is particularly skilled in editing for redundancy, clarity of concepts, and sentence flow. As a colleague, she is compassionate, collaborative, and creative.
