MA CREATIVE WRITING, GOLDSMITHS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

I am a London-based writer, renegade guide and founder of the Living London project. Over the years, I have written extensively on the places and people that make up my home city.

My writing has been published in various journals including Huck, Time Out and the New Statesman. In 2020, I self-published a collection of personal essays entitled, Belonging: Reflections of a Renegade Guide, investigating themes of exploration, faith and transience.

I hope the MA in Creative Writing will enable me to develop the tools and knowledge to teach writing and to curate place-based writing experiences for British Muslims.
