As many of you know, a friend and I have been working on an anthology project entitled Love, InshAllah: The Secret Love Lives of American Muslim Women‘.

We received some incredible submissions and great feedback from agents and publishers. We’ve been asked to include more stories and are reaching out in the hopes that you will consider writing and/or help us spread the word.

We are soliciting auto-biographical stories written by American Muslim women on love, dating or courtship. While we prefer that authors write under their real names, we recognize that some topics – including sex, sexual orientation, polygamy, mutah, etc. – are sensitive, so we are accepting a limited number of anonymous submissions.

If you are interested in submitting a piece, please send a first draft (1,500-4,000 words) to relationship DOT anthology (at) gmail DOT com by Monday, February 28th.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at the e-mail address above. Please re-post this entry or the link, here.

Thanks for your help and support!

On My Mind

  • A breakfast croissant on the terrace, warm humid breeze, parrots chattering in the trees & a giant rainbow. Good morning, Miami! 17 hours ago
  • If I lived in Miami, I'd be so fit. In fact, I feel more toned already just standing near all these gorgeous people on South Beach. 1 day ago
  • So what should my 2-year old aspire to now that he has already been in the NYT?! :) http://t.co/2gtD4nkh 3 days ago
  • *new post* Rickshaw Diaries- Creating something & then releasing it into the world, where it takes on a life of its own http://t.co/a6cAljwc 4 days ago
  • It has been a surreal few weeks...alhamdolillah. 4 days ago
