Calling all South African Muslim Women! It's time to write your story!!!
We're putting together a book with a working title of: The Samoosa Express to Marriage and Beyond. The book is aimed at showcasing professional Muslim women in two domains: 1. before marriage and 2. when married and beyond. For the first domain (before marriage) we are looking for honest, funny or serious stories of women juggling family pressure, religious and cultural obligations, career, hopes, dreams and aspirations; in finding Mr. Right or not wanting Mr. Right. For the second domain we are looking for honest, funny or serious stories of professional Muslim women juggling home, family and career being married, divorced or single parents.
We want a minimum 1500 words story to be written and sent to zaheera.jina@yahoo.com by 30th June 2012. All submissions will be handled confidentially. If the story is chosen to be included into the collection, the author could choose to be profiled in the book or to remain anonymous. All contributing authors will earn from the book sales and a percentage of the book sales will go to charity.
Please send any enquiries to the above email address.
