Call me to talk about

Translation and Ghostwriting

I am trilingual and use my language skills to translate various works from Spanish to Turkish and English and vice versa. Additionally, I am a ghostwriter with more than 12 non-fiction books to my name. Using those experiences, I can provide you with consulting services meant to sharpen your work and increase your communication skills, translate your work into different languages, or ghostwrite for you.

Research & Worldbuilding Clinics

Market-grade research packages and worldbuilding critique for authors fiction and non-fiction — I transform scattered research into usable story scaffolding.

Deliverables (60-min call): prioritized research checklist, 10 recommended primary/secondary sources, and a 1-page timeline or cultural cheat-sheet for character/world consistency.

Literary Submission Strategy & Query Letter Critique

I help authors craft submission-ready packages that get noticed by agents and acquisitions editors — query, one-page synopsis, and strategy for which houses/imprints to target.

Deliverables on a 60-min call: line-by-line query critique, 3 concrete submission targets (imprint + why), and a 1-page follow-up plan.

Typical session: 60 minutes
