Oxford MSt-trained, Award-Winning Writer with agent representation. Book coaching and editorial services for writers ready to get published.

Work With Me

Who This Is For:

You’re a writer who:

  • Has a manuscript that's close but not quite ready

  • Needs expert guidance to strengthen structure, character, or voice

  • Wants accountability from someone who understands publishing from the inside

  • Is preparing to query agents but unsure if the work is ready

  • Feels isolated in the writing process and needs support from someone who gets it

This is particularly valuable for Muslim women writers navigating literary spaces where they’re often the only one who looks like them—where the question isn’t just “Is my manuscript strong?” but “Am I allowed to take up this space?”

With Suad, writers develop exceptional manuscripts without shrinking their voices.
