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.

THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH X THE WOLF AND THE WOODSMAN Time and Time Again. Vampire Ishmael longs for peace but after being exiled by a corrupt magical council he vows to end their cruel reign. To his delighted horror—his newest ally is the reincarnation of a past love. #GhostPit #A #F #PN #LGBT

When a dead body forces them to unravel a sinister puzzle while a sadistic killer closes in, will Riley & Liam risk it all to save their town, or die trying? 👻 #GhostPit #UF #NA #Q

Tylor & Naveena are keeping secrets: he can talk to the dead & she is Death herself. No mortal can do what they do. The day they meet, they discover they've been looking for each other. Can they work together to save a missing girl, & themselves, before it's too late? #GhostPit #A #W 👻 #Spec #RF

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

I made an account for the pitch event I'm interested in starting, so please drop a follow if you can #WritingCommunity!

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 🤔😃?
