Welcome to the IWA...

The Islamic Writers Alliance is an international, professional organization for Muslims involved in the literary arts -- published and aspiring authors, novelists, poets, essayists, publishers, editors, translators, illustrators, journalists, spoken word artists, bloggers, and playwrights. We support one another in our goals as writers, whether it be honing our craft, seeking publication opportunities, or promoting our published works to both the Muslim and non-Muslim world. We are dedicated to writing about, presenting, and supporting positive Islamic fiction and non-fiction reading materials, in all genres, for all ages.

The IWA is an inclusive organization and welcomes Muslim men and women of all races, ethnicities, linguistic backgrounds, abilities, and creeds. Welcome to our blog.

Blog Roundup - Round 5

This week, make sure to take a look at these IWA member-authored blog entries:

In response to the recently publicity surrounding her fundraising efforts on behalf of Muslim children, IWA member and founder, Linda D. Delgado, says: Focus On Muslim Kids - Not Me!

IWA associate, Tiel Aisha Ansari, changes a sonnet into a pantoum (and explains how she did it). According to Wikipedia, a pantoum is a form of poetry similar to a villanelle and is derived from the pantun, a Malay verse form consisting of a series of interwoven quatrains.

Finally, IWA member and Web Administrator, Amel S. Abdullah, posts opportunities for translators, UK-based writers, film-makers, and writers interested in contributing to the Journal of Arab & Muslim Media Research.
