Mashal Abbasi

Journalist, Author & Copywriter

United Arab Emirates

I wrote my first story at the age of 8. I recall showing it to my teacher back then, who in turn read it aloud to my class. That was the beginning of my writing career.

When university applications rolled around, I found myself knee-deep in personal statements, as I was the go-to editor at school.

My first university assignment was a personal essay, where I wrote about the time I fell off a horse, and the horse then fell on my leg (there's really no other way to put it.) My professor's comment? You have the makings of a features writer.

I'm very grateful to have had people in my life support my ambitions, whether it was friends, family or teachers.

Now, with over a decade of professional experience, I've written about everything from dog food to luxury racing simulators. Writing is what I do, and you'll see that in the samples below.
