My full name is Maeeda Tariq Khan, and it's pronounced like Mai-duh Tah-riq Kh-on.

I was born in Lahore, Pakistan just before my family immigrated to Toronto, Canada when I was one-years-old. I've lived in this chilly but cozy city ever since.

Write what you’re passionate about. If an idea hits you like a storm, whisk away with it. If you’re passionate about a certain story, that passion will lead you to being the best writer that story needs.
