The Muslim Writers’ Salon is an international membership community founded in 2022 by writers, organizers, and entrepreneurs M. Nafisah Cabrera-Estevez and Medina Tenour Whiteman.

Our mission is to foster a space where Muslim writers from around the world can find support and resources to develop their authentic voice, craft, and writing careers. 

The intended impact of MWS includes:

• Personal satisfaction and development, self-knowledge

• Professional development enabling our Muslim community to generate prosperity in the literary arts

• Fostering authenticity by supporting Muslim writers to own and celebrate our voices

• Nurturing a broader cultural shift towards amplifying and representing the voices of Muslims of the global majority.
