Join Muslim Youth Musings

Muslim Youth Musings is a literary organization that is committed to working with Muslim writers to express themselves, enhance their writing skills, and engage in reflection about the world around them. We’re looking for team members to join us in our vision of crafting a generation of skilled and creative Muslim writers.

MYM Writer Cohorts

Our themed, five-month long writing cohorts are immersive, heart-centered journeys for Muslim writers to grow in craft and community. Through live events, prompts, and editorial support, you’ll find space to reflect deeply, write intentionally, and connect with others who share your passion.

Best of all, it’s completely free.

01. Community & Connection

  • Cohort Huddles for celebration, time together, and supportive feedback
  • Writers Hour for shared, focused writing practice, and accountability
  • Writer Showcase Nights for vulnerability, witness, and creative expression

02. Live Events & Workshops

  • Craft Workshops on structure, voice, imagery, and storytelling essentials
  • Guest Speaker Sessions with established authors sharing their journeys
  • Reflection Nights for intention-setting, purpose, and remembering why we write

03. Growth & Learning

  • One-on-One Editing Calls with experienced and caring editors
  • Book Club exploring faith, identity, and belonging, and creative thought
  • Monday Musing Prompts as weekly creative sparks to keep you writing
