In search of texts to reveal.
To explore their depths,
to refine their truth.

Read. Analysis. Reveal.
I see editing as a practice of attention to what makes a text necessary. To read is first to understand what a text is trying to do, both in its composition and in the relationship it establishes between form and content. I place particular importance on what makes each text unique.
​
My approach is both analytical and intuitive, adapting to the nature of the text and to what it needs in order to express itself with precision. For me, rewriting is a space for dialogue with the author: a form of support grounded in suggestion, which respects both creative freedom and the singularity of the work.
​
I am particularly interested in writing rooted in the real, in narratives of trauma, and in decolonial perspectives, where literature becomes a means of working through and transforming reality. For me, a text does not simply state—it questions: a form, a reality, or the self.
