About Me

I’m Maya Karkabi. I’m a publishing professional currently living in Portland, Oregon. However, my heart will always belong to my hometown of Abu Dhabi, UAE.

I love everything to do with books, specifically romance books. As a publishing generalist, I’m not only exploring the ins and outs of the literary world but also learning how to craft stories that capture hearts. Join me on this adventure as we discover the magic of books together!

Testimonials:

“It’s been such a pleasure to work with Ooligan Press students for my book Continuum: French Science Fiction Short Stories, especially with project manager Maya Karkabi. Maya was on top of everything, making sure all parts of the editorial and production process go smoothly. She was quick to answer my emails and her messages were always clear and on target. I appreciated her diligence and admired her professionalism. Thanks to her leadership, the team created a beautiful cover for my book and find the perfect title. She found important reviewers and, when the book was released, she was present at all events with everything ready. I never had to worry about any part of the process or the logistics; I could rely completely on her. I would love to work with her again and wish her the very best.”
