Nabeela is a twenty-one year old female hailing from Karachi, Pakistan, currently in her third year of medical school.  She has been a writer since the tender age of nine, adores books and can often be found among them.

“Books made me the writer that I am today, helping me in my grammar and spelling.  While other children were running away from words and anything that even resembled books, I was being raised on them. As a result of cutting my teeth on books written by Charles Dickens, Enid Blyton and even some Sidney Sheldon, I am able to elaborate my creativity to aspiring heights and reproduce my imagination on paper.  When I am not at my laptop writing, I enjoy quiet soliloquies and Need for Speed: Underground.” 

Her poem “Jar of Smiles” will be published in the literary magazine Poetry Pacific, November, 2014.  Her work has also appeared in The Screech Owl and Right Hand Pointing magazines.
