Loveletters are a curious camp- just Erma’s type. Her fiance, the headstrong Gambian poet is worlds apart but insists they're soulmates. Then one in dozens of teachers at seminary tops them in Loveletterism... and attraction. The kind of soul connection (and eventual heartbreak) is another story. One lesson stands out in this satire about people of Allah: appearances change but love remains.
“'Imam recently completed his review of the articles for al-Qalam and that he thought your piece was, ‘very impressive.’"
“ I truly enjoyed the exploration of diverse female voices and unique retellings of Islam used throughout the manuscript. The Islamic elements specifically added such an interesting twist to the idea of soulmates.”
“This is a really substantial topic; I mean you could dedicate years of books and research to this.”
"I have completed your initial submission of Loveletters, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first three chapters. Stream of consciousness is a very challenging writing style, and you pull it off beautifully. Your prose sings! [Erma] is an intriguing character, and I am excited to read what happens with her."
“...and again writing beautifully about slices of life I think... we don’t read enough of.”
