Thank you for those who have supported my picture book thus far! Sometimes I get asked if I'm writing more, and I have been but not all my stories become books. I'm pleased and humbled to share that I have a middle grade book deal with HarperCollins. I can’t believe it and am honored to say the least. It is a lot to process. I am a picture book author and didn’t really think of myself as writing for older children. However, after receiving feedback from a couple of editors for a picture book where something I wrote sounded like a chapter book, my first agent encouraged me to write for older children. I was a little reluctant initially but thought I would give it a try. So 4 years ago I started my novel. I knew I wanted it to be about an immigrant character like me. First drafts are often very rough and mine was a tangle of thoughts. Throughout the years I gave up, tried again, and gave it my all! So alhamdolillah I'm v grateful for these books and can't wait to share Nurah's story with you! Link in profile to how book deal and auction unfolded! Thank you!!
