“Working with Hend Hegazi has changed my life. When I met Hend, I’d written several scenes of a novel and many short stories and was unsure how to make these projects something real and long-lasting. Within one session, Hend helped me learn how to identify as a writer and cultivate a writing practice I could maintain while guiding me on how to prioritize projects. Hend’s approach of meeting writers where they’re at and understanding their needs in crafting writing goals, deadlines, and ways to follow through have assisted me during the ups and downs of life. Hend’s encouragement and deep care combined with her insistence that I take myself and my writing seriously have helped me truly understand myself to be a writer and complete the projects that are most important to me. With Hend’s exceptional developmental editing, guidance on multiple publication processes, and support in ensuring I dedicate myself to the ways I write best, I’ve written a novel that I am now querying! I’ve also completed short stories and poems and am working on a second novel. Hend is a joy to work with for her excitement for clients and her flexibility, empathy, and concrete strategies on goal planning, time management, writing, and editing are making it possible for me to achieve my writing dreams. ”
