Biography

Mahmud El Sayed is a British-Egyptian writer and translator. He lives in East London where he spends his time pondering linguistic oddities and running story ideas by his cat.

A former journalist, he covered 'serious' Middle Eastern politics until he had enough of chasing people up for boring quotes and decided to write about generation ships, sentient libraries and memory taxes instead. He won the prestigious 2023 Future Worlds prize for Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers of Colour and his work focuses on Arabic and Islamic-inspired themes in a genre he is calling Arabfuturism.
