Here is the author's page where I need the picture to be uploaded: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I'm not entirely sure about other information that would be needed to fill the author's page. If there is a form I can fill or something, that would help. Thanks.
I added the author photo.If you provide additional information here, we can add it to his profile. F.e.:

short biography

Short Biography:
Muhammad Nawaz Khan was a Pakistani army officer, author, historian, columnist and poet, born on 23rd November 1943 in Shahbaz Garhi, Mardan. His literary career started in 1957 when he wrote a novella and a poem and continued till his death in 2015. He wrote extensively about the history of north-western Pakistan, the Gandhara region, the Pukhtoon people of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the British Raj, in English, Urdu and Pashto languages.
After graduating (B.Sc. Hons) from the College of Agriculture, University of Peshawar, he joined Pakistan Army and served as part of the prestigious Frontier Force Regiment (FF) for 25 years, from 1966 till 1991. He also served as the Wing Commander at the historical Balahisar Fort in Peshawar, the Headquarters of Frontier Corps. During this time, he was also the official historian of Frontier Corps.
He was also a member of the NWFP government's Roundtable on Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Tourism Development and member of NWFP government's Experts Committee for assisting and advising Departments of Archaeology and Culture regarding protection, preservation and development of cultural, archaeological and architectural heritage of the province.
Nawaz was the proprietor/editor of the Gandhara Times Peshawar, which was launched for the preservation of cultural heritage and promotion of tourism in Pakistan. He also managed Gandhara Markaz, which publishes historical books and brochures. He also worked on a number of history/tourism projects for the Frontier Corps (N.W.F.P.) Frontier Constabulary, Pakistan Army, Pakistan Air Force, Frontier Corps Foundation, Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV), Pearl Continental Hotel, Peshawar, and Sarhad Tourism Corporation (STC).
Muhammad Nawaz Khan was my father. I have added a bunch of his books to Goodreads over the past year but I don't have the ability to add a photo to his Author's page.
I have applied to become a Goodreads Librarian and have passed the quiz, however I was wondering if someone could help me with adding a picture. I can provide a picture that was usually put on his books.
Thanks.
