Hello and welcome! My name is Michael Z. Zaki.
I have been writing for the internet for over a decade, and the greatest compliments I have received have been to the effect of "you articulated something I couldn't find words for" or "your writing helped me understand something important". The most rewarding part of writing is making other people feel less alone or help them more deeply understand experiences they hadn't considered.
I believe that storytelling is a cornerstone of culture, and it is an honor to tell stories. Even non-fiction is storytelling - a set of facts with no story is hard to understand and integrate, and my goal is to generate understanding, curiosity, and reflection.
I write about culture, mental health, philosophy, media, and of course, rabbits.
My portfolio includes essays, newsletters, reviews, and short fiction. I am also an experienced copyeditor, copy and content writer, and can provide administrative support through writing.
I hope you enjoy exploring my work here, and I would love to hear from you!
