SALAAM, WITH LOVE x CANDY JAR Ramadan is the month of peace, except this year Yumna is forced to plan an iftar with her longtime rival and his presence makes peace hard to come by. Can she survive him or will he ruin her Ramadan just as he ruined her future? #MuslimPit #NA #R

THE LANTERN KEEPERS In a kingdom where divine lanterns expose sin, a prince must bind a feared vigilante to his trusted Concord before the Severance Trials begin... or be sacrificed himself. #MuslimPit #F #YA #Q

Hello #writingcommunity! My apologies, but my life got very busy and I had to take a break from querying so I was not able to host the first @MuslimPit event just yet. But I would like to host it on Saturday, May 9th! More info will be coming soon!

A town with missing memories. A snowstorm that never happened. A dark figure playing a fatal game behind the scenes. And a dead girl walking with the answers. The only problem? She doesn't remember them & she has 30 days to figure it out before she dies again.#QuestPit #YA #SPEC

As the host of #MuslimPit, here is a little bio: my name is Ayishah, and I recently completed my degree in English Lit. with a concentration in Creative Writing. Though I love British classics, fairy tales, and folklore, my favourite stories ever are the Thousand and One Nights.

Though my mother read the Thousand and One Nights to me as a child, I never had the opportunity to study them in my literature classes. This is what led me to write a retelling of my favourite story, Sinbad the Sailor, which turned into my current #amquerying novel.

In Western literature, Muslims have a history of being represented inaccurately or pushed to secondary roles. #MuslimPit is all about promoting ethical literary representation where Muslims can become the heroes of their own stories.

Hello #WritingCommunity! I'm interested in starting a pitch event dedicated to uplifting the voices of Muslim writers who are at any stage with their manuscripts. As an #amquerying writer myself, I am passionate about expressing my religious identity through my work!
