Zara Saleh

Zara is originally a Kurd from Syria. He came to the UK at the beginning of the Syrian uprising and he couldn’t speak any English. His writing experience started in Kurdish and Arabic. His interests in writing began when he was 10 years old. He wrote a short story in school that impressed the whole school. However, the catalyst in his life was his grandma who always told him plenty of stories about Kurdish culture and mythology.

Despite choosing a career as a pharmacist, he continued to develop his passion for writing and this book will be his first published story.
