Ilham Alam, writer
Ilham Alam discovered her knack for crafting stories back in elementary school and has continued writing in a variety of genres since then, including as a reporter with the Varsity Student Newspaper at The University of Toronto during her time as an undergraduate student. Ilham is an avid reader and researcher and has a love for travelling and experiencing new cultures—all of these experiences and observations have given her insight into people and new ideas of storytelling. She lives in Toronto with her husband, two children, and two non-gracefully aging, old lady cats.

“Blank Spaces was the first time that I was professionally published! It was and still is a VERY proud moment. It is so hard to get your story into a literary magazine, so I appreciate Blank Spaces for giving me that opportunity.”
