“From movie nights and bake sales to reading and writing submissions for our literary magazine, my time as Head of the Literary Society was a blast. Getting to see the extent of creativity and passion of Westminster’s budding writers and editors was both a pleasure and a privilege. I loved getting the chance to know the Literary Society members, and hope that the club can continue to be a space for belonging, laughter, and oh-so-many wonderful words.”

“As the Head of the Literary Society, I can say that being handed over this title came with a sense of responsibility but it was one that I enjoyed the most! Seeing the decrease in the activities that COVID had imposed, I grew even more motivated to hold sessions online. I held an online creative writing session with renowned British-pakistani author Osman Haneef and the response I got was overwhelming! To say I was ecstatic would be an understatement! Soon after, I held another online session of poetry writing with Seema Raza which was another hit! Therefore, I can vouch that being the head of the Literary Society gave me the first feel of what it is to be in a position to follow your passion.”
