The Writers Gauntlet: Sadie Kaye vs Fidha Fahmy

‘Dramatic, determined, makes terrible life choices, yet shows up the next day like nothing happened’: Sri Lankan teen who dropped an entire novel (The Girls From Istanbul) before her prefrontal cortex even finished loading on why her ride-or-die is Tom from Tom and Jerry (not Donald Lame Duck).

Fidha Fahmy becomes the youngest author to brave my Writer’s Gauntlet in The Hooghly Review, with a reprint in BUZZ. What a way to cap a crazy week!
