Every other week, I send out a newsletter as part of my Tuesday Telegrams. Find out more about me at www.naseemwrites.com or on IG @jamsternazzy. THE BRUISING OF QILWA, my Crawford-, Locus-, and World Fantasy-nominated novella set in a queernormative, Persian-inspired world, is out now. My queer MG horror debut, THE GLADE, comes out 5/27!
