A Message From Mujibur Rahman…
My Dream Is Simple — To Write Full-Time
I am a British Bangladeshi short story writer.
For years, I’ve been working long night shifts as a security officer while writing stories during breaks, weekends, and whenever the world becomes quiet enough to hear my own imagination.
My dream is to take two years away from full-time work
so I can write a powerful, full-length British Bangladeshi novel that represents our lives, our struggles, our humour, our past, and our hopes.
But to step away from work and dedicate myself fully to writing, I need to build a fund of:
£100,000
This will give me the time, freedom, and stability to complete the novel — without sacrificing my responsibilities to my family or my wellbeing.
Why I’m Asking for Your Support
I write stories based on identity, heritage, culture, migration, East London life, Sylheti roots, community triumphs, and the magic and pain that exists between worlds.
Every story takes hours, sometimes days — from imagining to drafting to rewriting.
And yet, I publish most of them completely free on my blog because I believe stories should be accessible to all.
If my writing:
- moved you
- made you think
- made you feel seen
- reminded you of home
- entertained you
- or resonated with your heart
…then your support can help me step closer to the bigger dream.
I am building this fund one reader at a time.
