#MuslimPit

I would love to hear from the #WritingCommunity about when the first #MuslimPit event should be! ✨

Mid-November, late November, or early December? 👀

As the host of #MuslimPit, here is a little bit about me: my name is Ayishah, and I recently completed my degree in English Literature 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.

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.

#WritingCommunity

Hello #WritingCommunity! I'm interested in starting a pitch event with the hashtag #MuslimPit 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!
