Nour Merza is a former Thomson Reuters journalist whose family's globe-trotting tendencies have allowed her writing to be influenced by places as varied as Saudi Arabia, Chicago, Los Angeles and the United Arab Emirates. Currently pursuing her master's degree at the University of Chicago's Center for Middle Eastern Studies, she enjoys writing - both academically and creatively - about the Middle East, Islam, and the Arab-American experience.

Now, the informal intro:
I write. Anything. Poetry, short stories, articles. Dabbling in a novel. Wondering if a wandering into screenwriting is a beautiful thing.
Often spend time questioning why we think in particular boxes. Trying - cautiously - to peek out of the one I'm in. The light out there sometimes hurts my eyes.
Often spend time questioning why people hurt people. And trying (unsuccessfully) to forget about it.
A bit Arab, a bit American, with some Circassian on the side.
