Author: Hanadi Falki

Hanadi Falki is an Indian storyteller, born and brought up in Saudi Arabia. Bitten by the travel bug early on in her life, Hanadi has had the opportunity to live and observe life in various countries including the USA, New Zealand, and India, and has explored parts of the Gulf region, Europe, and Singapore. Her experiences are reflected in her writing, and make it relatable globally. Hanadi is a recipient of the University Gold Medal for English Literature (Aligarh Muslim University) and has a Master's degree in Creative Writing from Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. Along with her career in the field of writing as a Content Developer, Editor, Digital Content Specialist and then a Communications Director, she has worked with various organizations trying to combat extreme poverty and polio, raise awareness on various social issues and bridge the gap between people of different faiths and income groups. Hanadi's debut novel, ‘The Price of Our Silence’ was well received and now she is trying to raise awareness on social issues through a collection of short stories, ‘Women Around Us’. She has also contributed a short story in India's first Urban Horror Anthology, 'City of Screams', which is a certified Amazon Bestseller.

Kids really enjoy Hanadi’s creative writing class and always look forward to it. I wanted my kids to be good readers and enjoy reading, improve vocabulary, and think out of the box. These were my expectations from the class and I am very happy to say it has all been fulfilled and we received even more which I didn’t even know was so important. Thank you so much Hanadi.

‘Women Around Us’ – Easy words, simple sentences and yet Hanadi manages to depict such complications and complexities of our society with ease. I would recommend this book to all, especially the young readers. Her stories are the mirror to our society and help us understand our faults and also gives us the hope to get through them.

The story of ‘The Price of Our Silence’…is unique. I could relate to almost every character you created. I was amazed at the way you addressed so many issues in the most subtle way possible.

Nicole HuntWriter and PhotographerAuckland, New Zealand
In the two years that I’ve known Hanadi, I’ve seen her not only excel at the core elements of her job like generating content for various platforms but also learn other tasks that extend well beyond the scope of her role. As I can recall, Hanadi is a very productive person. She is not only a self-motivated and ambitious writer but also an inspiring colleague. This rare mix of productivity and ambition sets a great example for the rest of the people around her.
