Emirati writers Fatima Al Marashda and Jawaher Al Yamahi, winners of the 17th Ghanem Ghubash Short Story Award, discussed sources of inspiration and the craft of storytelling at a session during the 45th Sharjah International Book Fair. Al Marashda explained that everyday encounters and interactions with children can spark a story idea, while Al Yamahi draws inspiration from Emirati memory and the details of life in the past. They stressed that the short story relies on compression and concision, and that its title serves as an entry point that piques the reader’s curiosity. They also noted that its techniques differ from those of the novel, without making one form superior to the other.
