Welcome to the online home of Jay Antani, author of the coming-of-age Amazon best seller The Leaving of Things, the award-winning sci-fi adventure Edge of Light, the sci-fi survival adventure novella Transcendent, and the upcoming Edge of Light sequel, Tree of Worlds.
If you’re looking for an editor or someone who can help you develop or refine your book idea, I would love to offer my services. Twenty years of writing and editing have helped me hone my skills in polishing both fiction of all genres, from YA and Thrillers to Science Fiction and Horror, as well as with memoirs, academic essays, short stories, plays, and poetry. I have a keen sense of what’s working, what’s not working, and can help you find your way to a successful manuscript you can take pride in.
If you’re a writer in search of an editor, let’s connect. You can find more information on my Editorial Services page.
My latest, the novella Transcendent is an interstellar survival adventure but not my first foray into the sci-fi genre. That would be my 2020 release, Edge of Light, a sci-fi adventure flavored with horror, conspiracy, and suspenseful action. The book has garnered praise from readers and critics alike. To learn more, check out the Edge of Light page.
I began novel writing with The Leaving of Things (Lake Union, 2014), a YA coming-of-age saga that follows an Indian-American teen, transplanted from the U.S. to India in the late 1980s, learning to come to terms with his Indian roots and his American dreams while taking command of his own destiny.
