On this episode we go through the process of writing and publishing Alya Mooro’s book and the business side of things like finding an agent and a publisher. We navigate through her work as a freelancing journalist, which includes pitching ideas to editors and sourcing steady work.
We also talk about her best selling book, “The Greater Freedom: Life As A Middle Eastern Woman Outside The Stereotypes”, why she decided to write a book that speaks to Arab women and we cross into topics of sexuality, identity, the importance of financial independence and the pressure of getting married and toning things down as women.
