The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) unveiled a new series of literary publications
covering the genres of fiction, humanitarianism, and emotion, during its participation in the Abu Dhabi International

Book Fair 2025. The latest works originate from the Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW), one of MBRF’s
key knowledge initiatives aimed at supporting and empowering young talents in the writing and literary fields.

The new publications include three novels written by young authors who graduated from the DIPW’s Novel Writing

workshop held in Jordan. These pieces traverse a range of narrative trajectories by combining bold storytelling with in-
depth analysis. The first of these novels, The Memory of Salt by author Walaa Abazeid, presents a poignant and poetic

tale of the psychological impacts of war, narrating a story of a young Syrian woman named Ayoul. The narrative
explores the way she grapples with loss and displacement, suffers the bitterness of refuge, and encounters adversity with

hope and courage.
