Making Money at Conventions
The biggest problem authors have when it comes to making money at conventions is the lack of preparation. There’s a lot of preparation that goes into a successful convention foray, and most authors have no idea how much preparation it takes; most figure they just need the books, some way to deal with credit cards, and then show up and sell books. Yeah, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Authors need to realize that a lot of planning goes into a successful convention table, and this article should help with that planning process. Just be prepared for a lot of research and paperwork, but that’s just part of the business.

Winning the Literature Time Award – Malaika Nawaz’s Journey of Words. AI-Generated.
At just 18 years old, I, Malaika Nawaz, have been honored with the Literature Time Award – a recognition that feels like both a dream and a deep responsibility. Writing has always been more than words for me. It’s been my way of making sense of silence, of capturing what others overlook, and of speaking up without shouting. Over the years, I’ve written 10 books, each carrying a piece of my heart and the stories I wish to give to the world. From poetry to reflections on peace and inner stillness, I’ve tried to carve a space for quiet voices to be heard. This award is not just a win for me – it’s a win for every young writer who doubts if their words matter. It reminds me why I began, and why I will continue. To everyone who has read my work, supported my journey, or simply believed in the power of stories – thank you. And to the young people still writing in secret notebooks or on glowing screens: your words can move mountains. Keep going.

I Was Interviewed on the #1 U.S. Radio Show – The Senior Zone. AI-Generated.
I recently had the honor of being interviewed on The Senior Zone, the #1 radio show in the United States dedicated to uplifting voices across generations. As an 18-year-old author of 10 books, I shared my journey of writing, my inspirations, and the message behind my latest book, The Silence of Everything. We discussed literature, youth empowerment, and how silence and creativity can become a form of resistance, healing, and hope. Thank you to host Shawn Perry for such a thoughtful conversation and for giving space to young authors like me. It was a proud moment to represent Pakistan and youth writers on such a respected platform.

From Pen to Power: The Rise of Multi-Award-Winning Author Malaika Nawaz. AI-Generated.
At just 18 years old, Malaika Nawaz has done what many only dream of in a lifetime — she has authored over 10 books, each echoing with the quiet depth of introspection and the bold fire of purpose. Hailing from Pakistan, she has carved her space in the literary world through themes of silence, peace, resilience, identity, and the search for meaning — subjects rarely explored with such maturity at her age. Malaika’s journey began not in the glow of fame, but in the solitude of words. For her, writing wasn't a hobby. It was survival. Expression. Healing. While many young people found themselves lost in noise, she found refuge in silence — and then gave that silence a voice. Her most acclaimed book, The Silence of Everything, was published in 2025 and quickly gained global attention. It’s not just a book; it's a statement — an artistic reflection of how stillness holds power, and how silence can speak volumes about human nature, emotional pain, and beauty. What makes Malaika’s story remarkable isn’t just the quantity of her books, but their impact. Her work has won the Literature Time Award and has been nominated for the Global Youth Award — a recognition of her influence beyond just words, acknowledging her as a changemaker in the literary world. Two other global recognitions have solidified her status as one of the youngest impactful literary voices of her generation. But Malaika doesn’t write for applause. Her writing is purpose-driven. She wants to reach people who feel unseen, unheard, or forgotten — readers who find solace in a single poem or strength in a hidden sentence. Her poetry, essays, fiction, and self-help reflections are all born from a deep desire to connect, to question, and to offer hope. Beyond writing, Malaika is also a speaker and a voice on international platforms. Her radio interviews and public features have added another dimension to her storytelling, allowing her to share the heart behind the page. Yet, Malaika is still growing. She doesn’t claim to have all the answers — only the courage to ask the right questions, and the commitment to keep creating. Her story is still unfolding, one word at a time. This is not just the story of a young author — it is the story of a young woman who turned silence into literature, and solitude into legacy. Start writing...
