Overview
I have over 12 years of developmental editing, copy editing, and proofreading experience. I love working on all types of manuscripts and meeting new authors. I work closely with clients to make sure we communicate all needs and stay on top of deadlines!
I hold a Ph.D. in Philosophy (York University) with specialization in political, legal, and ethical theory. I was born in Egypt, but I spent most of my life growing up in Canada. After completing my graduate studies in 2012, I took up an assistant professor position in the United States. So, I am as diverse as my academic background and work experience!
During my career, I taught courses on ethics, creative writing, film, human rights, ethics, Islamic philosophy, logic, political theory, sports, and law. I have edited and proofread countless manuscripts. In addition to working in academia, I am also a freelance editor, having worked on novels, portfolios, autobiographies, and organizational models. Together, I have extensive professional and personal experience working with all types of clients, including CEOs, lawyers, academics, authors, recent graduates, and senior executives. As a result, I understand and value the unique needs of each project and its author.
I love to work closely with every author to ensure we communicate effectively throughout the process, discussing milestones, revisions, and other necessary details. My preferred method has always been Microsoft Track Changes, so authors can see every change made, as well as receive pinpointed, constructive comments and feedback. But I welcome Google Docs, Reedsy-provided tools, and other suggestions. By the end, I ensure that all comments have been addressed and the manuscript undergoes one last proofread to ensure everything is ready to go.
