Are You an Aspiring Writer Waiting for a Break? If so, this Event is for You!
The Muslim Literary Festival (MLF) was established with two main goals: (1) to provide Muslim writers with a platform where they can access the education, resources, and critical opportunities necessary to enter the world of professional writing; and (2) to act as a bridge for Canadian publishing professionals to connect with Muslim authors and their audiences.
Since the festival’s launch in 2024, several participants have gone on to publish books, magazine features, and literary anthologies, demonstrating the Event’s commitment to supporting emerging Muslim voices in Canadian publishing.
“Stories have the power to shape how we see the world, challenge assumptions, and remind us of our shared humanity,” says Narjis Sheikh, MLF Founder and Executive Director. “At a time when Muslim communities are too often spoken about rather than listened to, MLF creates space for writers to tell their own stories in their own words.”
This year’s theme, “Humans at Heart: Stories that Beat as One,” focuses on shared humanity and how personal experiences can shape universal stories.
Tickets to the Muslim Literary Festival are on sale now until July 24th. The Event offers a full day of industry engagement and career development. Click on this link to reserve your tickets immediately: https://bit.ly/4fzMqPN
We must take charge of our narrative. Research indicates that 92% of their Muslim coverage is negative. Help us change that.
