experienced, creative editor

Philadelphia PA

Description

hi, i'm noor! i've worked as an editor for over 7 years, and have been writing and teaching poetry/creative writing for longer. in this time i've built relationships in the writing and publishing world: i still reach most new clients by word of mouth! the way i make connections as a writer and editor is as important to the quality of my work as my in-depth understandings of craft + the contemporary literary field we are all writing in. this is why i put my energy into local work, repeat clients, and the 1-on-1 connections i make as an editor in the virtual and real-life worlds. my guiding principle: revision is the process of holding the fact that any piece of art, including writing, is a complete expression. revision isn't about 'fixing' things, or judging what needs to be fixed. my job as an editor is to help your work say what it needs to say, your way. reach out to my email! let me: - help you bring your personal best out of individual poem drafts and manuscripts of any size. - help you bring your personal best out of your creative writing in other genres: i have worked /i also take on works in other genres on a case by case basis. i'm a multidisciplinary writer and artist: more info on my website and patreon. - help you get your poetry published (follow the link below and scroll down to 'publication counsel' website: logistical details re: editing services, more information about my approach, testimonials. https://integratedpoetics.squarespace.com/editor website also contains my cv https://integratedpoetics.squarespace.com/start-here and some of my published work https://integratedpoetics.squarespace.com/poems-and-such patreon: more in-flux notes on my approaches to writing and revision, seeking synthesis, distributing art, etc. patreon.com/spike_sappho i've worked well with writers who have never showed their work to a stranger before, experienced professional writers, poetry professors, writers who choose not to enter academia or publish at all, incarcerated writers, youth writers, and more. if you feel like i can help you with your work, please don't hesitate to ask :) and, hey, if i'm not the right fit, i can probably connect you to someone who is. happy writing~
