Mathlaa Maher Albarwani

Mithlaa Maher Al-Barwani, 25, is from the Sultanate of Oman and a graduate of the University of Technology and Applied Sciences, where she majored in Applied Biology.

Books have always been a part of her life, from bedtime stories with her mother to the fairy tales she told her sister. Her love for reading grew with her addiction to the Impossible Man series, the adventures of A × 2, and the Fear Street series.

Her passion for writing began with her sister, who would craft stories and share them with her. Inspired by this, she started writing seriously at seventeen. The Palestinian cause deeply moved her, and the suffering of the people of Gaza stirred her pen. Determined to shed light on injustice, she wrote a story about the struggles of Muslims and made a promise to herself that her first published work would be a religious book.
