Hello, my name is Manal Faris, I’m thirteen years old and I live in the UK. 

I've written my 1st Islamic novel named as 'The Boy in the Well' - The Story of Prophet Joseph and I need your support to publish it.

I love writing and art. To me, they are both connected. Also, my background is Sri Lankan, a small island below India. I’m part of a family of six and I’m the middle one among my siblings (it’s not as bad as some make out). 

So, now you know me a little more-  I hope. :)

This campaign is all about my book: The boy in the well, the story of Prophet Joseph. 

It’s the life of our inspirational Prophet Joseph in the style of fiction, the reason I chose to write it like that is because there are so many fact books out there, but while reading them-most of the time-I found myself yawning.

For teens like me, the adventure, the lessons and the amazingness of Prophet Joseph’s life was lost. And so I thought, why not capture it in fiction; it’s still moralistic, interesting and full of life changing lessons.

By helping me raise money to publish this book, you will be part of putting a book out in the world that is both fun to read and beneficial. 

You’ll be assisting a future author (me: grinning as I say this) and you’ll get a copy of ‘The boy in the well’ for yourself!

How much do we need and where will it go?

Well, we are planning to raise £5,000. From that, £3,500 will go to printing 1000 copies of the book, the remaining £1,500 will go towards editing and marketing.

I don’t want to write it and no one to read it!
