Salaam!

I’m Ameera Aslam. Helping writers and poets get from idea to a finished product (chapbook, manuscript, blog, newsletter etc) is one of my favourite things to do.

I developed my coaching method through years of working as an editor. I started by offering editing and proofreading services and later added 30-min consultation calls. Aspiring writers and poets always ended up booking several calls, so I knew a longer-term working arrangement and a suite of services would be really useful.

As a writing coach, I help you cultivate the craft and confidence to find your place in the world of words. It is flexible, according to your needs so it starts exactly where you need it to start.
