  • Beyond editing, Suad's coaching and mentorship are invaluable for writers seeking to elevate their craft. Compassionate and caring, she approaches each interaction with a keen eye for detail. Her enthusiasm for story development in fiction is infectious, and I've personally witnessed how she can guide writers to unlock the full potential of their stories or ideas.

    – Sherine Elbanhawy, Founder of Rowayat

  • Suad gave me valuable insight into the publishing industry for a book proposal I’ve been working on. She guided me through the submission of a book through the eyes of a publisher and ways to fine tune what I’d written to grab their attention as well as ways to rearrange the sequence of my book to stay true to why the audience would have purchased the book in the first place.

    – Soukeyna O., Writer & Producer

  • Not only is Suad invested in your story from the beginning, she’s also very clear when aiding you to make your story come to light. Her dedication is one in a million. Suad is very professional and a master in helping you tell your story. I had a wonderful experience working with her. Allahumma barek Alaiha. I highly recommend her services.

    – Umm Khadiijah Al Liybeeriyyah, Author of Say Alhamdulillah and Where is Allah?

  • 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 feedback is not only warm, but comes in different forms: questions that help you bring an idea to life, encouragement about complex construction, and help for bringing an idea to life.

    – Hannah Alkadi

  • Suad has a keen eye for the micro and macro elements of story telling, as well as the technical factors that turn the written word into something publishable. Not only is she a talented, experienced and traditionally qualified writer and editor, but she has an eye for creativity and honesty that is hard to come by!

    – Islam Mohammed
