What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute writing, editing, critique, and campaign-development skills in a collaborative creative environment where I can keep developing as a writer.

I've written fiction for Dibbly | The Urban Writers and developed advertising scripts and campaign copy at FP7 McCann.

As a Creative Writing Judge Intern at The Writer's Workout, I evaluated stories, produced detailed editorial critiques, led submission discussions, and line-edited winning work published in 72 Hours of Insanity: Anthology of The Games.

I'm a creative writing graduate with a forthcoming auto-fiction publication in Al-Raida, exploring identity, grief, trauma, and death anxiety through nonlinear storytelling.
