Series 3 Episode 6: Ayisha Malik
The Prize for Unpublished Writers of Colour now accepts manuscripts in non-fiction.
In this third series of podcasts in support of Morley College’s Prize for Unpublished Writers of Colour, Dr Florence Marfo speaks to novelist Aiysha Malik, who became a Morley Prize judge in 2022. Ayisha Malik’s protagonist in Khan Is Not Obliged has been described as the Asian Bridget Jones, a description that Ayisha embraces.
Ayisha discusses her motivation for being involved in the Morley Prize and her latest novel The Movement, in which she poses the question ‘where does perpetual dialogue take you’?
