Who

Salwa Benaissa is a writer based in Prague, Czech Republic.

Hi, I’m Salwa.
This is my portfolio.


I’m a writer by passion and a strategic communicator by trade. I offer copywriting, editing, and content design services.

I’m now based in Prague, where I work as a full-time UX writer at Emplifi. I collaborate with designers and developers to keep the product’s language clear and consistent, from microcopy to design system documentation.

Before this, I spent 8 years as both an in-house and external copywriter for a PR company, various ad agencies, and a couple of start-ups.

I also write fiction, dabble in theater, and I love pretty much anything to do with books and performance.

I’m open to working on projects around the world.
