Literary / Book Club fiction writer from Kuwait. I have an MA in Creative Writing and have instructed creative writing workshops and mentored writers in Kuwait. My manuscript was shortlisted for the Peters Fraser & Dunlop Prize for debut novels in London and an excerpt titled Mother of All Battles won a Liar’s League Leeds short fiction competition. Last year, at the Atlanta Writers Conference, I received a Best Sample Manuscript award. Last month, I was presented with the Best Pitch Award also at the Atlanta Writers Conference.
