Sonia Sulaiman

A little new intro for the new folks.

Welcome! I'm Sonia, writer of spec fic inspired by Palestinian folklore. You can find my stories at ArabLit Quarterly, Beladi, FANTASY magazine, FIYAH, Lackington's, and other places.

My work has been nominated for: Pushcart, Lammy, Palestine Book Award, and Best New Weird Awards.

My writing is called 'beautiful' a lot.
