About Me |
|
| FINISHING TOUCHES: A Professional Editing, Translating, and Art Services Organization, offers online editing, translating and artwork for numerous text-types from varied disciplines. Mary Bukhari, owner of Finishing Touches, is not only a professional editor and artist, but has published numerous articles, short stories, poems, and Op-Ed articles over the years. She is currently working on a satirical novel, whose main characters are an Elizabethan Ghost and contemporary writer. The story is power-packed with an ancient mystery, devious characters, a primordial to modern-day conspiracy, archeological proof, and politics, so she is well aware of the numerous problems an author can encounter when approaching agents and publishing houses. | |
