Voices of Jordan in New York!

Conversation Bubble 0 Comments


I was invited to present and discuss Voices of Jordan in New York. The book talk was hosted by supporter Susan Wicht who focuses on Arabic language and education. The event was attended by teachers, businessmen, patrons, authors, activists and other New Yorkers. I used prezi to present images and main themes and then we opened it up to questions and discussions. Many of the attendees were enthusiastic to learn more about lives of people in the Middle East. Three educational institutions in New York have showed interest in holding book events when the book is published.  Meanwhile, the search for a publisher for Voices of Jordan continues. I would like to thank Susan Wicht again for her support and for hosting this event in New York.

I would like thank everyone who contributed and supported the crowdfunding campaign for Voices of Jordan seven months ago. I promised each and every one of you that your contribution would go to completing three full chapters and 15 photos. I'm happy to announce that this milestone has been completed and I am looking forward to begin the field work and interviews for the next three chapters. Also the first 'book talk' outside of Jordan will be in New York this month. I will be giving a presentation about the cast of 10 characters and how I'm bringing their stories alive. Thank you to Susan Wicht for hosting this event and for her support to Voices of Jordan.
