Do you DREAM about writing an Islamic book for children?
Do you make DUA for your book to get published and benefit the Ummah, earning you rewards in the hereafter?
I wrote a book, but had no experience or knowledge to get it PUBLISHED, PRINTED and PROMOTED.
But that didn’t stop me; I invested my time and money and set up a non-profit independent publishing company [Bismillah Bees] in 2018. I went on to publish more than 15 books – including 7 award-winning titles – benefitting families around the world. ALHAMDULILLAH!
Between 2018 and 2022, other sisters (and some brothers) reached out to me for advice and guidance. Like my late father (may Allah have mercy on him), I was delighted to support others on their own journeys and I am incredibly proud of their achievements and success – ALLAHUMMA BAARIK!
I launched my 2nd independent publishing company [Dreams and Duas] in the summer of 2023 and I am here to support YOU to make your DREAMS and DUAS come true Insha’Allah.
Alhamdulillah, I have had the honour and privilege to support many authors on their journeys. Some went on to become award-winning authors themselves or have launched their own independent publishing companies!
"There comes a time in your life when Allah swt showers His kindness to you by giving you love, support and guidance through a human being – for me, one of those time was when I met Rabia Bashir. She took the time to speak to me and answer my many questions, someone who she didn’t know but who also had a dream to become a writer.
Rabia’s extensive experience, professional success makes her a specialist in her field. She’s hard-working, positive and a force to be reckoned with! Anyone that has the privilege of working with Rabia will surely gain both in their personal and professional life!"
"Rabia has been the big sister/friend who has helped me openly and generously as I began to tread the waters of working with illustrators in 2022. I wasn't sure whether my second book would be a self-published one or not and there were so many questions I had which she helped to clarify in order to keep the overwhelm at bay.
I really liked her approach in explaining things at a pace I could grasp (really slow!), especially since I'm not very techy and guided me step by step so I could communicate ideas clearly to my illustrators. This allowed me to grow in confidence and step out of my comfort zone as the whole journey was a new experience for me.
Rabia has a wealth of knowledge and years of expertise. I can't recommend her enough for helping other authors to move forward with their projects."
"I love working with Rabia. She was very professional. She gives genuine and constructive feedback speedily and is committed to develop your story to make it the best. Apart from that, Rabia also shares insightful tips generously for budding writers like myself.
Can’t wait to work with you again 💕"
"Once again, thank you for being my big sister buddy on this journey."
You're truly amazing. This is why people love your books, and you're a multi-award-winning author Allahumma barik. It's really needed as a first-time author and your genuine expertise, passion shines through! I've learnt so much Alhamdulillah.
I definitely recommend you to anyone to help them on their journey.
"If any author/editor is the best it's Rabiaaaaaa Alhamdulillah - thank you sooo much!"
"Rabia pointed out my blind spots and gave me excellent advise moving forward."
Rabia, thank you for your hard work. I have a very sensitive personality and I had taken myself out of my comfort zone to submit my work to be scrutinized. I am so proud of myself for picking you alhamdulillah. You did not extinguish the light in me to write. Your fair remarks have me so excited to keep writing an even awesomer text.
"I loved how diligently every single sentence was observed and edited to make the story stand out."
If you're not sure about your manuscript than editing by Rabia Bashir is a great option. She will pour her heart out in editing and sincerely suggest you the right way to do it.
"Jazakallah khair for your time and all your invaluable feedback sis!"
In terms of the illustrations, great point mashaallah tabarakallah.
"I truly appreciate you."
It's so overwhelming - Alhamdulillah finally it's getting somewhere and with your support/expertise I've been able to conquer this.
"Your mentorship means the world to me, and I truly believe you are the best in the business."
You've consistently shown honesty, responsiveness, and patience, unlike many others I've encountered in this journey. Your timely and thoughtful responses have made all the difference. Your dedication sets you apart, and it's evident that you approach your work with genuine love and passion.
