First draft of my #Journalism #fantasy #wip is done:
Reporting from the field during an unremitting conflict, a foreign correspondent faces desvastation & senseless violence. Scarred emotionally & physically, she must decide between professional impartiality & crossing the line.

Thrilled — and a little stunned — to have won first prize in the Al Azhar Writing Prize for a short story that’s part of the prequel novella to my #WIP, Clinging to the Stones.
So grateful to the judges & organisers!
And great many thanks for @mahmudelsayed.bsky.social!
