Published in Funds for Writers

I recently had two writing-related articles of mine published in the Funds for Writers newsletter:

When your Editor Leaves

And:

A Catastrophe Brewing…Under your By-line!

Both of these articles are reprints and have been mentioned on this blog before. Reaching out to a wider readership has been beneficial thus far, resulting in multiple inquiries about the Arabic to English translation services I provide.
