Ayaan Raza

Mohammad Ayaan Raza is a student, aspiring app developer, author, and editor based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He is currently studying at Modern Middle East International School, where he has been enrolled for several years, building a strong academic and creative foundation.

From a young age, Ayaan developed a strong interest in reading and storytelling, inspired by books such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and its author, Jeff Kinney. This interest gradually evolved into writing, leading him to begin his journey as an author at the age of 10.

His early writing experiences included participation in international competitions, such as the GEMA Story Writing Competition. Despite initial challenges in publishing, Ayaan remained determined. After exploring multiple platforms, he successfully published his first book, The City of Terror, through Kindle Direct Publishing in January 2024, making it available across major global markets.

Ayaan draws inspiration from mentors who have encouraged his growth, particularly Ms. Sana Adil, whose motivation and belief in his abilities left a lasting impact on his development as a writer.

In addition to writing, Ayaan has a growing interest in app development and technology, reflecting his curiosity for innovation and problem-solving. He is also actively involved in football, playing as an attacking midfielder (CAM) and goalkeeper.

He credits his achievements to the continued support of his parents, teachers, and close friends. As he continues his academic journey, Ayaan aims to further refine his writing, expand his technical skills, and work on more advanced and impactful projects in both literature and technology.
