I offer editing services for people with manuscripts that need polishing.
I also listen to you, and write your stories and ideas as you would like to read them.
Academic editing
I edit articles, essays and academic work.
After an in-depth discussion about the ideas you want to put forth, I work with you to focus on the thesis question and to reveal the hierarchy of arguments in the text. I will edit for structure, clarity, contribution and elegance, and will give you written notes. ($500.00 per 10,000 words)
I can also provide detailed line-edits (price varies depending on sample, between $5 and $8 per 250 words)
Literary editing and coaching
Have you already written a narrative? I will read it and tell you what works and what doesn’t. We will work together on structure, style and point of view. ($500. per 10,000 words) I can also provide detailed line-edits (price varies depending on sample, between $5 and $8 per 250 words). Writer’s block? I will help you through! (fees upon request)
Writing your story
Do you have a story to tell but don’t know where to begin or how to proceed? Drawing on decades of ethnographic experience, I will listen to your stories and help you shape them into a coherent and interesting narrative, whether the final product is an essay, a memoir, an autobiography or another genre of non-fiction. Through deep listening and creative collaboration, I will help you craft a manuscript of which you can be proud. (price determined by complexity of the project)
Content creation
Based on your ideas, I create content for websites, blogs and other public forums. (price determined by complexity of the project)
French/ Arabic to English Translation
I am an experienced translator, and can translate your content from French or Arabic into English. I have lived in France, Morocco and the Gulf for many years and understand not just the languages of these regions, but the cultural contexts. (price determined by complexity of the project)
