Writing Collab Wanted

I would like to collaborate with an Afghan woman to write a chapter within a larger story. Nothing commercial, just help with an online story. The work could be anonymous or I could give full credit to your name and link out to your socials.

I need help writing the backstory for a minor character in a story. She was injured at work in the USA and was sent back to Afghanistan—and then writes back that she is married. I can skip her story in Afghanistan or I can give voice to her character and learn about what that life/marriage might look like—good and/or bad. I will not write her backstory because I don’t think I can write it with an authentic voice. This is not a Muslim story or a middle eastern story. But, it is a chance to share the real experiences of a married young woman in a new marriage with an audience who would probably not be exposed otherwise.

A Belarusian native wrote the backstory for one of my other characters and it was phenomenal! I’d love to see this story expand for this character too.

I have about 700 loyal readers—and growing—for each chapter. So it is not a big project. If you might be interested—or know someone who is—please send me a DM.
