  • As the saying goes: to write is holy, to edit is divine. There's a kind of blessing given to Suad as she works—not only taking the red pen through what needs to be fixed, but holding your hand along the way. She's a true teacher as well as an editor, empowering her writers with the tools they need to create the works that will change the world.

Her expertise as an editor and writer is exceptional, standing out in the field for its clarity and precision. Her skill in articulating complex ideas and narratives is not just impressive, it's a significant asset to any project she is involved with. Suad possesses a unique blend of technical editing skills and creative storytelling ability, which she applies with finesse and dedication in every task she undertakes, making working with her an incredibly rewarding experience.

  • Suad is a brilliant editor! I have utilised her services on so many occasions and cannot thank her enough. She has an amazing way with words and unlike others, who will stop at grammar and spelling, she goes above and beyond. My favourite thing remains that she will ask reflective questions to help me think about how to develop my points further. This way, my work remains authentic and my voice unchanged.

    – Fatoumata
