I am who I am. A former teacher. A picture book writer. A middle grade novelist. A spreader of light.
I am a member of SCBWI, Inked Voices, and am a critique ninja for 12x12. As a Muslim woman of Pakistani heritage who has lived in different parts of the world as a child, I write diverse stories that promote empathy, kindness and unity between children of all faiths and cultures.
My picture books, NOURA’S CRESCENT MOON (2024), and HANA'S HAJJ (2026) will be published by Candlewick thanks to my wonderful editor, Mary Lee Donovan.
In order to spread light, I am donating a part of my proceeds to GIVELIGHT.ORG. This organization cares for and educates orphans in thirteen different countries including the U.S.
I currently live in Long Island with my husband, daughter and cat, while my son goes to college in NYC.
I hope to write more books. None of this would be possible without the expertise of my fabulous agent, Stephanie Fretwell-Hill, at the Red Fox Literary Agency.
Yes! As a former elementary and preschool teacher, I am at home in the classroom. It would be an honor to meet my readers. Feel free to email me at zainabthewriter@yahoo.com for any author visit requests. Thank you for your interest!
Always!
Please send me your stories and pictures at zainabthewriter@yahoo.com or zzkbooks@gmail,com. I will try my best to post as many of your drawings and stories on my website.
You can also ask me any questions you have about my books or the writing process. Happy to spread the light!
