Zara Karim is a Pakistani writer originally from Islamabad, and now based in Birmingham, UK. Her writing is defined by an unflinching curiosity about people-their contradictions, their beliefs, and the unspoken truths that shape their lives. Zara's fiction is marked by an attentive eye for detail and a deep sensitivity to the intersections of society, identity, and personal transformation. Her work explores the spaces between expectations and individuality, vulnerability and strength, belonging and freedom.

Rather than offering easy answers, her stories linger in complexity, inviting readers to sit with questions that resonate long after the page is turned. She writes with the belief that fiction can hold a mirror to reality-not by simplifying it, but by revealing its layered and often messy beauty.
