About

​

The publishing arm of Fahmidan was created in November 2020 and began operations in February 2021 to address the disadvantageous, unequal and divisive nature of the publishing world. Fahmidan is the home of POC & Women identifying writers ardent in battle against subjugation and our desire is to ensure the longevity and continued success of both our own writers, and those submitting to us whether accepted or declined.
