"These missives intertwine the authenticity of lived experience with the grace of lyrical prose." -Aamer Hussein

'Two writers. Two stories. Revealed in letters.'

Story Circle: Letters on Creativity and Friendship is a product of conversations between poet Fatima ljaz and novelist Taha Kehar. In a string of 48 letters, penned over a span of five intensely creative weeks and delivered through email, both authors adopt the confessional mode to discuss a plethora of ideas and find a unique creative voice. Ijaz and Kehar may live in separate countries (America and Pakistan, respectively), but they manage to traverse physical distances through honest meditations on a range of concerns. Laced with references to literature, love, a writerly life and crucial friendships (or a lack of), these letters are a window into the literary journeys they have undertaken so far.

Each note is, by turns, a memoir, a diary and as a safe space where the authors share their fiction, diary entries and poetry with each other. Written with integrity and flair, these letters offer a telling portrait of the highs and lows of being an author in this day and age.

Mahnoor Zia (mahnoorzia) | 5 comments Could the formatting of the description be fixed? And in the 'About the author' section only one author is showing up, can that also be fixed? Thank you.

Please elucidate.
The description is as per webpage and your request, except for the praise, which is not allowed.

Sorry, but no. Only the information for the principle author is mentioned.
