My guest today on The Convo Couch for this month's Heart of Writing episode is Amal Awad. Amal is a journalist, author, screenwriter, and performer. She has contributed to numerous journals and anthologies, appeared as a speaker or panelist at schools, universities, and writers festivals around Australia, and she also facilitates workshops covering topics such as; diversity, multiculturalism women's issues and pop culture. She is the author of five books, including two novels Courting Samira and This is How You Get Better, and the non-fiction books The Incidental Muslim, Beyond Veiled Cliches: The Real Lives of Arab Women and Fridays with My Folks: Stories on Aging Illness and Life. She has contributed to the anthologies Growing Up Muslim in Australia and Some Girls Do: My Life As A Teenager. 

Amal's new book In My Past Life I Was Cleopatra is a work of non-fiction that delves into the world of new age self-help and spirituality. She's also writing her next novel, The Things We See In The Light, due for release this year, and she has produced a deck of cards, The Creative Compass to inspire and motivate creatives.

It's Amal's obvious passion for and dedication to her writing and life in general that prompted me to invite her to be a guest on this Heart of Writing episode.
