Professional Writing and Editing Services

The Sales Bit...

Are you looking for a writer or editor who genuinely cares about your work? Someone who will take the time to understand your vision and help you craft something extraordinary?


Whether it’s a novel, poetry collection, screenplay, memoir, or even academic content, I’m offering my services to help.


A Little About Me

My name is Ajaz Qureshi, and I’m a British South Asian writer, teacher, and artist from the North of England. I’ve spent my life working with words—reading, writing, teaching, and editing them. I hold a BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing and an MA in Creative Practice with a specialism in Cultural Identity and Poetry, graduating with distinction. I’m also a CELTA-certified teacher through Cambridge University.

  

I am a traditionally published author (Full Nelson) and have been commissioned to produce pieces of writing for print and public display, radio, screen, and stage for many years. I’ve worked with organisations big and small, from Arts Council England to local arts companies and schools. My work has been displayed and performed internationally, from New York to Riyadh. Please see my portfolio page for a better understanding of all the creative work I have done 


Along the way, I’ve picked up a few accolades, including:


  • The Nature Writing Prize (2023)
  • The Mono Poetry Prize (2023)
  • The Lancashire Fringe Short Story Prize (2024)


And, indeed, my editing journey has been as varied as my writing journey. I am currently the director of To Whom Editorial, a writing, teaching, and mentorship company. I run local writing workshops and support local writers, creatives, institutions and schools. I am also the editor of a hyperlocal magazine, The Burnley ViewPoint. which deals with local stories by local people. 


Why work with me? 

I know what it’s like to pour your heart into something and want it to be the best it can be. As an editor with such vast experience, I’ve helped polish countless works. However, some highlights have been:


  • A memoir for a local 83-year-old gentleman.
  • Four literary novels for an Italian author translated into English.
  • An entire noir screenplay for a film currently in production.
  • A Master’s thesis for a high level Fine-Art Student.
  • The entirety of my own creatives works (of which there have been many).


I’ve also edited work for countless peers, students, creatives, and academics over the years. Some days, it feels like I’ve edited the whole world. But no matter the project, I’m deeply committed to bringing out the best in your work.

 You are one of a kind. You did it so quickly and pointed out everything I couldn't see. Also, thank you for being such a great teacher. You actually gave me better feedback than my own lecturer. In fact, I would love to have you as my actual lecturer.

  patient⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ open-minded⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(to listen to students advice) helpul⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Careful⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Wise⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I highly recommend Ajaz as a tutor, he provided perfect session, really helpul. I practice the mock Interview with Ajaz, he gave me some valuable advices, not only in English, but also in professional way. I tried 9 hours in preply, and most of time make me feel quite awkward, both for me and the tutor, I think. Some communicated in a hurry, Some not on the same wavelength. Or You can feel They are not willing to talk. But in conclusion, Ajaz is nice😊

Bilal, Poet, Novelist and Screenwriter – 2024

Ajaz is a very skilful, open-minded, and thoughtful teacher. He is conversant with the English language as well as English education. I started taking his class for exam preparation. For three months, he helped me out with C1/C2 level English reading and writing. He always had an amazing plan for the lessons, utilizing online educational textbooks and additional materials. Also, I was amazed by his dedicated professional work and how he always fulfilled my requests. For example, he would offer in-class reading training to build up a strong reading foundational skill and provide thorough and insightful advice for my essays. I am really happy that I chose him as my tutor to work with. Therefore, I highly recommend him for any potential students regardless of their English level.
