Fadi Zaghmout

Interested in social issues, individual freedoms, and human rights in the Arab world.

My first novel The Bride of Amman (now available on Amazon in English) was published in the Arabic language in Jordan in January 2012, addressing issues of gender and sexuality in the city of Amman. My second novel, Heaven on Earth, was published in November 2014; it is a work of speculative fiction that posits a near future where science defeats ageing. I hold an MA in Creative Writing and Critical Thinking from the University of Sussex in the UK. I has been an active blogger since 2006 and has a Twitter following of around 370,000.
