What we’re looking for
We are passionate about fiction that captivates, inspires, and delivers high-quality storytelling. While we recognize the importance of non-fiction, it is not our primary focus at this time—though we may explore it in the future.
We welcome fiction in all genres and are especially drawn to:
- Diverse voices that bring fresh perspectives and cultural richness to storytelling
- Compelling narratives with strong character development and immersive world-building
- Innovative storytelling that challenges conventions and engages readers in new ways
- Beyond an engaging plot and memorable characters, the craftsmanship of your writing is crucial. We appreciate manuscripts that demonstrate clarity, precision, and a refined use of language—making every sentence count toward building an unforgettable narrative.
If your manuscript blends originality with quality craftsmanship and a compelling narrative, we invite you to share your work with us. Join us in our mission to elevate powerful stories and enrich the literary landscape.

- Works that insult or mock Islam, its prophets, scriptures, or practices.
- Manuscripts aimed at promoting conversion or non-Islamic doctrines will be rejected.
- Critiquing core Islamic beliefs or favoring non-mainstream sects is not acceptable.
- Satirical or critical portrayals of the government, military, or official historical narratives are not permitted.

- Content promoting separatism or emphasizing ethnic divisions is unacceptable
- Explicit sexual scenes, excessive profanity, or erotica conflicting with traditional values are not allowed
