Consulting & Project Management
I manage and advise on large projects that include Translation and/or Editing. Examples include: literary and academic works written in Arabic to be published in English; electronic corpora of Arabic literature to be used by researchers, faculty, and students in educational institutions; and museum catalogs or publications for cultural institutions to be provided in Arabic and English. Consulting in Arabic language and literature includes: advising individuals interested in beginning careers in translation, designing Arabic teaching and learning materials, and partnering with publishers to assist in the process of publishing translations.
Editing
I proofread and edit at all levels (developmental, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading). I am most experienced in preparing academic writing for publication, but I am open to working with other genres.
Translation
Bridging Arabic and Anglophone cultures, I translate Arabic to English. I provide Academic and Literary translation for individuals and institutions. I also offer these related Multilingual Services: research, cultural analysis, communications problem-solving, and subject matter expertise in materials pertaining to my specializations.
