Saud Ahmed works in financial services but is a writer at heart. He is passionate about three things: writing poetry and fiction, reading fantasy novels and playing football. In 2017, he began channeling his feelings into poetry and found it to be therapeutic for the soul. He writes when inspiration calls and needs nothing more than the notepad on his phone and some time alone. He wants to share his work with the world and befriend a community of writers in the process. He won the Salam Award in 2023 for his science fiction and fantasy short story, ‘Earth 747’.
