QLM Islamic Editing Services
Salam alaikum. My name is Aaron Wannamaker and I specialize in editing Islamic materials for an English audience. My goal is to help your work make the biggest impact for English readers.
I have been a writer all my life, and a Muslim since 2007. I have continued to develop my knowledge of my craft and Islam since then, and I am passionate about both. I believe that the written word can influence minds and, by Allah’s will, open people’s hearts.
I have a bachelor’s degree in professional writing and have edited numerous books including The Clear Quran translation.
You can see what books I have worked on or contact me if you have a project.
Services
I offer various levels of editing, from developing your idea all the way to your final proofread, for many types of projects, including:
- fiction
- non-fiction
- educational material
- dawah material
- website review
- translations*
*I do not offer translation services. However, I do edit translated documents to help improve them for English readers.
I am currently not accepting new projects. I apologize for the inconvenience, and I hope all the best for you and your works.
