Hi. I'm Nada Faris, a writer, literary translator, and creative writing teacher from Kuwait. 

I'm interested in language, literature, and creativity, and how they shape what it means to be human. I have more than 10 years of experience facilitating writing workshops designed to increase people's self-awareness and uncover their authentic desires.​

My books include: FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH (Vine Leaves Press 2016), a semi-finalist in the 2016 Vine Leaves Vignette Collection Award; MISCHIEF DIARY (HBKU 2018), a collection of humorous short stories based on real events; WOMEN OF KUWAIT (Daylight 2019), a collaboration with Kuwaiti visual artist Maha Al-Asaker that was selected as a Lucie Photobook Award finalist and featured in "Rolling Stone;" and LOST IN MECCA (DarArab, 2024), an English translation of Bothayna Al-Essa's Arabic novel (خرائط التيه), which was shortlisted for Banipal’s Translation Award and named a Notable Translation in 2024 by "World Literature Today."

I'm also an internationally certified coach for creatives. Through value-driven coaching, I help clients discover ways to express themselves authentically and accomplish more of their creative goals while also honoring their personal, social, and spiritual commitments.
