I always thought I’d be writing books, not designing them.
My first reaction on seeing the announcement was, “Nee vok.”
I have no idea why I was channeling an Afrikaans man at something-past-eleven this morning.
I was so chuffed at making the short-list, that I sketched out no scenarios beyond having my design right up there alongside the freakishly talented (they might be mutants) Fatima Cassim, Yusuf Dajee and Shubnum Khan.
I’m still a bit shell-shocked at the judges’ decision, though I am grateful for this crack at building my design profile.
An ileum-deep thank you goes out to those who included my design in their nominations and to my great friends; whose faith in me is unwavering even when I’m not much of a believer.
See what I've pinned
You guys are wonderful, and loved
Congrats Sal! Just read on bizcom. Great work as always
My darling Saaleha:)
Your will always be my hero!
your dweeby sister
Congrats my dear! A book can still happen, don’t give up!
Saals, we all look forward to reading a book of yours one day in the near future Inshallah.
As Ayesha said Jill of all trades. Master (mistress?) of all. Mashallah
Congrats again.
funnily enough you were the only one who didnt plug their design at me to vote
i had no idea you were in until the shortlist and designer names were announced. you deserve all the cred you get and iA i envisage this is just the start as it were (and wat a wonderful way to begin?).
i’m also honoured to have met you, the winner of Zuma’s B cover – see, my claim to fame.
once again, never a more deserved person
you rock and you’re one talented
