Over Zainab

I am a versatile and detail-oriented copyeditor with experience editing various types of manuscripts across publishing, academia, and media. With a strong foundation in grammar, structure, and style, I help clients ensure their work is clear, consistent, and impactful.
Whether I am editing research papers, nonfiction books, or website content, I am deeply committed to refining content so that it communicates with coherence and impact. My background includes editing texts written by non-native English speakers, which strengthened my ability to enhance clarity and readability without losing the author's voice.
My experience as a television news translator and editor provided me with the ability to meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality.
