For Release on receipt Contact Information Linda D. Delgado, Muslim Writers Publishing publisher@MuslimWritersPublishing.com, www.muslimwriterspublishing.com TEMPE, ARIZONA (PRWEB) March 22, 2006 -- Well-known in the Muslim book industry author, Amatullah Al-Marwani died April 29, 2005 after a bone marrow transplant for leukemia. One of her last requests to her friend Linda Delgado who is the publisher of Muslim Writers Publishing was to get Star Writers published.
“Star Writers is a creative and educational workbook for the young aspiring Muslim writer and offers the not-so-new writer many valuable writing insights. This book is pure fun and educational from cover to cover. Amatullah, known for her ‘mad’ rhyming and riotous sense of humor has captured the essence of writing an educational text that reads like a good story. Her experienced writer’s ability grabs and keeps your attention. Students will stay focused on the lessons at hand.“ -- Linda Delgado, Publisher. Why is this book needed by Muslim students, parents and teachers? Delgado stated that thousands of children are enrolled in at least 231 English-language Muslim schools in the U.S. alone; many of those children are actively engaged in creative writing, both inside and outside the classroom. Hundreds of thousands more students in other countries speak English as either their first or second language. One of the two largest Muslim educational organizations in the U.S., the Islamic Foundation of North America, sponsors an annual writing contest for students. Many Muslim students also attend public schools. To write Islamic stories, students need some help because they have different issues to write about from their non-Muslim student counterparts. Holidays such as Ramadan and Eid celebrations, fasting, Muslim manners and the practice of not mixing. Dealing with bullying issues, misunderstandings about their religion and practices and taking inspiration from the Qur’an can create conflicts when they attend public schools where education and religion are kept separate. This book includes everything a student needs to begin writing stellar Islamic stories.
In the late author’s own words, “Does your excitement for writing good Islamic stories twinkle and then fade because you can’t figure out where to begin? Are you drowning in a galaxy of blank paper and empty computer screens, scratching your head in frustration?
