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.

Book Review Services - A Comparison
Recently, I independently re-published a book that was originally published in 2020 with a small publisher. Sadly, what happens when you re-publish a book is that it doesn’t actually replace the other version – it is published as a new edition. This means that the book loses all its previously acquired reviews on websites such as amazon. While I’m all for getting organic reviews, if you’ve ever tried to build up your book reviews you know how hard it is to get those first dozen. Once you get a dozen or so reviews, they begin to keep trickling in but for some reason no one wants to be in that first batch.

Sound and Vision
I'm surprised that I did not think of this sooner... I am at home during a very hot Tuesday, sitting in my kitchen in front of this screen with a plan to go for a short walk after the leftovers I have had for dinner. I am waiting on money in the mail (snail, unfortunately), and having vague thoughts about which dumpster I would choose if I do get kicked out of my apartment and have to suffer another humiliation. The job hunt continues, with one application sent to a school that I applied to years before, had an interview with, and then found myself rejected from because the teacher I was supposed to replace decided not to retire.
