About Khadijah
I write coming-of-age novels featuring universal themes about teens and young people who traditionally haven't been seen on the printed page. I hope my books inspire others who feel invisible to share their own stories. One of my favorite topics to discuss during a school visit is the importance of revision. It's hard to do but essential to shaping your story.
