Nawaz completed her first novel, Bone and Bread, published by Anansi Press in 2013, while residing in Montreal, Quebec.[3] BiographyEarly life in OttawaSaleema Nawaz was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. An only child, Nawaz was raised solely by her Caucasian Nova Scotian mother in the Ottawa neighbourhood of Centretown, in the absence of her Indian father.[4][5] Nawaz claims to have begun showing interest in writing fiction as early as the first grade.[6] During her high school years she attended Lisgar Collegiate Institute, a highly regarded public school near her Centretown home. Upon graduation from high school Nawaz attended Carleton University in Ottawa, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Humanities.[4] Winnipeg, Banff, and MontrealAfter receiving a Bachelor of Humanities at Carleton, Nawaz moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba to pursue her M.A. at the University of Manitoba. The M.A. program at the University of Manitoba interested Nawaz because it offered a Creative Thesis option.[6] Since obtaining her degree, Nawaz has attended a writing studio program at the Banff Centre for the Arts and currently resides in Montreal, Quebec where she does administrative work for McGill University. Writing careerInfluencesNawaz cites her biggest short fiction influences as Alice Munro, Tobias Wolff, and Raymond Carver.[7] Early workNawaz' novella "The White Dress" (which would later appear in her collection, Mother Superior) won her the Robert Kroetsch Award for Best Creative Thesis in 2006. This award is given to the writer of the best creative thesis each year out of all University of Manitoba M.A. graduates.[8] In the following years, Nawaz published several individual short stories in various literary publications across Canada (see "List of published works" below). Mother SuperiorIn 2008, Nawaz published a collection of seven stories and two novellas entitled Mother Superior. The collection includes five previously published short stories as well as two previously unpublished short stories and two previously unpublished novellas. Mother Superior has generally been met with positive reviews, even receiving a nomination for the prestigious McAuslan First Book Prize from the Quebec Writers' Federation.[8] The stories in Mother Superior follow a diverse cast of female protagonists struggling with issues such as racism, abuse, death, anorexia, pregnancy and motherhood. Mother Superior is published by Freehand Books. Bone and BreadNawaz's first novel was called Bone and Bread. Its narrative follows two sisters from her previously published short story "Bloodlines" (found in The New Quarterly and as a part of Mother Superior) twenty years after their original story.[6] List of published worksIndividual short stories
