This should not be limited to English. We've reached out to people who can help with lists of Palestinian lit in Turkish, Indonesian, Malayalam, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German. If you can help with these or other languages, please message.

I've sold my soul to short stories. Sure, there are some ideas I have that are committed to being novella/novel length, but short stories have ensnared me heart and soul
What I'm realizing through writing long-form is I'll always return to shorts as well. Long is a commitment, but shorts is where I get to experiment more liberally, re-discovering my writing and voice with each tale.
