About Me

Hi there! My name is Safiyyah, and I'm a professional copywriter. I provide creative blog articles for various blog sites depending on what my clients have asked for, i.e., travel, food, health, baking and so much more.

Much like many, I prefer to spend my spare time knee-deep in some poetry. I also love to write short stories, some of which reside in the horror, thriller, or suspense genre. I would love to help youngsters find their writing voice, as I have found mine, and share their masterpieces with each other, in hopes to encourage them to branch out and become phenomenal.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge with all of you!

At the start of the youth album of your choice (you know, the one she / he constantly asks you to reread to her "by making the voices"), I will make a reading of it told in front of her / him then we will realize together a plastic realization from this story!

Overcome your fears and unlock creative inspiration to finally get to the end of your writing project.

Let yourself be guided and finally realize your dream of writing.

➤ Overcome your fears.
➤ Discover the secret to writing 100% fun and 0% blank pages.
➤ Awaken this writer's flame that has been dormant in you for a long time.
➤ Build unwavering legitimacy and overcome the fear of failure, lack of time and procrastination that keep you from moving forward.

In short, put an end to the fear of writing! Isn't it difficult to be consumed by the desire to write your project and not succeed in doing it? Break forever the insurmountable wall that prevents you from writing today.

It is a matter of combining improvements in form with improvements in substance. For this, the sessions can for example take place according to your needs as follows:
a) Comments / proposals on the text that you will offer me b) Writing exercises based on a statement.
c) A series of precise and pragmatic recommendations and their application through style exercises.

Whether it is a novel, an essay, song lyrics, various texts, a biography or simply a report for professional or school purposes, it is about offering you elements personalized pedagogy:

- Study your text
- Build text, song lyrics etc
- Calmly polish the style
- Research and develop your lexical fields
- Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others

All this by combining theory and practice: Writing work from exercises then as part of a personal project.

During the sessions, you are guided in your writing project. The trainer accompanies you and teaches you the preparation method, gives you writing tools and helps you work on your style and your imagination.

The objective is multiple, including a reflection on one's own literary path, an introduction to the basic tools of style work and exercises on description.

Learning objectives:
- Identify your writing path.
- Mobilize your imagination.
- Learn and master the practical writing tools.
- Broaden its reflection on creation and professional and personal writing.
- Create and develop one or more projects.

Trained in a European Grande Ecole & Ivy League University in the United States, specialized and has been working in Europe and North America for more than 16 years in this field, in reputable international institutions , also intervening in forums and conferences.

- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

Stories are as old as we are, but if you want to put a story on paper or portray a story, it turns out to be more difficult than talking to your friends. How about now?
Not what you tell, but HOW you tell it is the most important.
The basics and how to use psychology to write a story, this is what you will learn anyway. Those who want to continue afterwards will learn how to write a script. Fiction or facts, you decide what you want to learn.

Creative writing is often portrayed as a solitary task. This cannot be further from the truth! Even professional authors have their work proofread, edited, and through this process redrafted. I offer these services to writers of every level. As a writer myself, I specialise in prose and plays, and am happy to look at work from a spectrum of literature. Specifically, I look to help support you with your work by proofreading, checking for grammar and spelling, but also suggesting literary techniques that may improve your work. Furthermore, I can provide a range of exercises for new writers to explore their tone and style, and am happy to help people to whom English is a second or third language gain confidence in their writing!

✓ Improvisation is the art of composing within the framework of a role play, without being overplayed so as not to lose credibility, by taking pleasure and appearing convinced (because communication does not consist, for example, of having confidence, but of appearing confident). It helps with a wide range of skills (imagination, emotional faculties, physical expressiveness, vocal projection, clarity of speech, interpretation, improvisation, observation, emulation, stage combat...) to make public speaking, communication , the theatricalization enhanced by the stage space and the play of the actor - improviser.

✓ Your inventiveness, singularity, commitment and signature being at the center of this training, it is about giving you the techniques to improvise, create, stage, while showing confidence and conviction to your interlocutors, in the private sphere or of the professional.

✓ So how can you also confront your shyness or lack of (relative) self-confidence by surpassing yourself by moving forward?
➤ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas to mobilize your abilities and your creative energy
➤ Explore your path to personal expression in complete freedom and security by overcoming your fears of expressing yourself in public
➤ Activate flexibility of mind, particularly by practicing active listening
➤ Develop your creativity and imagination while overcoming your shyness, developing your speaking, listening and responding skills
➤ Anchor lasting resources such as letting go, leaving one's comfort zone thanks to a caring framework and personalized modules/exercises

In application: For example, awareness raising and introduction to the Art of Storytelling have several objectives: Storytelling in public, Composing a repertoire of stories, Organizing a collective show, Games and bringing emotions into play (...). These theoretical training and practical training sessions (story structure, voice, memory, diction, management of stage fright, etc.).

It is a question of going through the history of the tale (origin, different styles of tale, difference between tale and story), the art of telling (work on the voice, the body, the imagination), the tale and the child (importance of the story for the overall development of the child, resource of the imagination, difference between reading and telling) ...: in short, the intention of this course is to make you want even more, to better tell stories

Open to all those interested in the story (parents, teachers, animators, educators ...), these sessions can also be offered to the person of your choice.

With the program, for this example of storytelling art in particular:
✓ Explore and experience the art of storytelling and discover its hidden sides
✓ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas, play with situations (...)
✓ Mobilize your capacities and creative energy
✓ Open interior spaces of reverie
✓ Explore your path of personal expression in complete freedom and security
✓ Overcome your fear of public speaking
✓ Make room for your imagination, Develop your creativity
✓ Activate flexibility of mind, Practice active listening
✓ Cooperate, create, play down

The art of storytelling therefore allows you to develop your creativity and imagination, because you are both a director and an actor. It also allows you to overcome shyness and develop speaking, listening and responding skills. Each person evolves at their own pace and uses their sense of creativity.

Objective: to anchor sustainable resources such as letting go, creativity, presence or self-confidence. In short, this artistic discipline will accompany you in your personal development and will help you get out of your comfort zone thanks to a benevolent environment and playful exercises.
