At Siratna, we immortalise family history as written treasure. We craft unique, heirloom-grade bespoke books for a select client list; our exquisite work is handed down by families, generation to generation.

Siratna is founded and led by Alice Guthrie, a celebrated British writer, editor, and Arabic-English literary translator. Alice brings a deep passion for family and history to the wealth of two decades professional experience across the Arabic-speaking world, Europe and USA. A multilingual literary artist, Alice delights in drawing out, mapping and enhancing the personal and the historical details of her subjects’ life stories, then making them live forever on the page. Alice is sought out by families and businesses in the Arab Gulf for her cultural sensitivity, her historical research, her discretion, her warm interview style, and her beautiful narrative writing.
