Mentor/Editor
Newcomer and Refugee Artist Mentorship program provides support for newcomer and refugee artists to develop their artistic practice and to further their integration and inclusion to Toronto. As a mentor I line edit full length books. I can help you organize and make a plan to write your book, especially if you’re an older person who never got around to it or a marginalized person and never got into it.
“Zeitoun’s editing did what good editing is supposed to do: she cautioned me on points of excess, exposed the clunky and awkward, and helped me hone my work into an organized whole while maintaining my voice. Her notes are a perfect blend of enthusiasm framed by the reality of how readers read. She helps to ensure that your words are not misunderstood and that your ideas stay true to the story at hand. I would highly recommend her.”
