work with me
high signal, no noise.
editing
As an award-winning writer, literary journal editor, and AI training team lead in NLP, I specialize in polishing, fact-checking, and elevating writing across all formats—including creative work (poetry, fiction, memoirs), academic papers, and professional copy (B2B/B2C, client briefs, CVs). My background in leading quality management projects ensures every piece strikes the exact voice, tone, diction, and clarity required to make an impact.
writing and translation
With an MSc in Creative Writing from the University of Edinburgh, I am an award-winning author of three creative publications (including a French-to-English translation). Currently writing a novel and translating from Hindi to English, I bring extensive versatility across editorial and creative disciplines spanning memoir ghostwriting, manuscript editing, cultural journalism, website copy, and AI language training.
workshops and mentoring
Craft & Strategy Focus
Every poet requires a dedicated apprenticeship to cultivate true self-awareness and artistic discipline. Drawing on my background as a New Writers Award recipient mentored by Don Paterson, as well as workshops with Alan Gillis, Patrick James Errington, and Miriam Gamble at the University of Edinburgh, I offer comprehensive mentorship for poets working toward their debut collections. I guide writers through the core mechanics of verse: tone, form, structure, diction, and lineation. All this, while offering actionable strategy for navigating the publishing landscape, targeting the right journals, and pitching full manuscripts.
Warm & Mentorship-Centric
A great mentorship bridges the gap between raw talent and a refined, published collection. Having been guided by master poets like Don Paterson through the New Writers Award program, I bring that same depth of pedagogical care to emerging writers. Whether we are fine-tuning the nuances of voice, stanza craft, and diction or mapping out a professional strategy for submission to top journals and presses, my goal is to nurture your unique poetic vision and prepare your debut manuscript for the world.
