Meet the Shaherazad Shelves Team

A proud Bangladeshi-American, Samiha holds a bachelor's in Earth and Environmental Sciences with a minor in English and is enrolled in UCLA's Editing and Publishing Certificate program. She acquires chapter books, Middle Grade, Young Adult, and Adult fiction across a range of genres.

Note: the level of romance she acquires is equivalent to what you'd be okay with your family reading. She is NOT open to horror, romantasy, or issue books criticizing a culture or people to appeal to modern audiences.

She is currently mastering the ropes of traditional independent publishing and will be open to submissions at the end of her internship training, inshaAllah.
