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.

#MuslimPit Prompt #1: What does Muslim representation mean to you? #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!

I was thinking about starting a pitch event for Muslim writers? It could centralize Muslim stories in any genre (SFF, contemporary, etc.) as well as uplift the voices of those who might come from Muslim countries that are traditionally underrepresented in literature. Thoughts #WritingCommunity 🤔😃?
