Author: Murielle Hebbo

Murielle is a Lebanese writer and senior bilingual copywriter based in Dubai. After spending more than eight years in creative agencies, she shifted her focus to the stories that extend beyond campaigns and pitches. She recently finished writing her first book, ‘The Almost Before You’, a collection that traces love, loss, and self-discovery. Her work often explores identity, disconnection, and the search for meaning in foreign cities, the quiet truths of expat life that rarely make it to headlines. Murielle believes the most powerful writing isn’t meant to impress, but to connect.
