In January 2004, she self-published a novel, Les Enfants de la Chaouia,[5] a family saga spanning three generations, seen as a microcosm of Moroccan society in full upheaval since the beginning of the 20th century. In 2007, she also self-published a scholarly work, French: Dictionnaire des noms de famille du Maroc (Dictionary of Family Names of Morocco),[6] a revised and expanded edition of which was published in 2012 by Éditions Le Fennec.

In 2015, she participated in the collective work published by La Croisée des chemins under the title French: Ce qui nous somme : réflexions marocaines après les événements des 7 au 11 janvier 2015 à Paris after the Charlie Hebdo shooting of 7 January 2015 and the Republican marches of 11 January 2015 in Paris.[9]

In April 2016, she published a historical work under the title Chroniques insolites de notre histoire: Maroc, des origines à 1907 (Najah al Jadida, 2016),[10] which carries out a rereading shifted from official accounts and school textbooks; it was republished in France by Éditions Érick Bonnier in September 2018 under the title French: l’Histoire inattendue du Maroc.[11]

With the same publisher, she published in September 2019, a historical novel between Europe and Morocco, based on actual events and characters, entitled French: Les manuscrits perdus (The Lost Manuscripts).[12] She revisits history again in a romantic way withthe novel French: Ben Toumert ou Les derniers jours des Voilés (La Croisée des Chemins, Casablanca, 2021), a close-up on the fall of the Almoravid dynasty from the viewpoint of women.[13]
