edit data

Since rewriting 'Jack and the Beanstalk' at age two to feature a heroine named Lisa, Samira has been both seeking and creating stories with powerful female protagonists. A graduate of the University of Wollongong's Creative Writing and English Literature program, she was shortlisted for the 2020 Write It Penguin Fellowship. In her science fiction and fantasy writing, she creates complex heroines navigating extraordinary worlds, with queer characters at the heart of her stories. When not crafting her own stories, she teaches language and literacy to students with learning difficulties on Gadigal land.
