Hey! Salaam!

My name is Ameera Aslam.

I'm an award-winning poet, bestselling author, and the founder of Shems Tabriz Communications & Consultancy. I'm an editor, writer, translator, copywriter, proofreader, growth marketer, and writing coach. I'm a real lover of words!

My first poetry anthology Desiring Light #desiringlightbook won the Daybreak Press Book Awards 2021. Buy here:

1. Physical: Wardah Books or Risala Books

My second poetry book These Ramadan Lights #theseramadanlights was published at the Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair 2023. Buy here:

My third book (and first non-poetry one!) was published by Iman Publications in March 2024 and has been on multiple bestseller lists including Singapore's national newspaper, The Straits Times. It's called When You Think You're Falling and is a book about istiqamah or steadfastness. Get it here!

I've written and published essays and poems, edited books, articles, magazines, Masters and PhD theses, done copywriting for corporate companies and travel websites, managed publication projects or digital content for mosques and other organizations, and more.

My hopes for my Buy Me A Coffee membership is to be a reader-driven community where I can share my writing & process, get feedback and hopefully publish my travelogue! Your support is greatly appreciated.
