Having begun his writing journey at the age of 13, an 18-year-old novelist and author from Ompora Budgam is emerging as one of the best-selling authors in the Kashmir valley,

Azam Zahoor Sofi is one of the young authors of Kashmir who commenced his writing career at the age of 13, when he was studying in the 9th grade.

While talking to Rising Kashmir, Azam Zahoor Sofi said that he has completed his schooling from the Kashmir Valley School in Humhama Budgam up to 10th grade. He recently finished his higher secondary education in arts from Delhi Public School, Budgam.

“I embarked on my writing journey while in the 9th grade when I was 13. I have authored four books, including ‘Era of Love’ (2022), ‘Words of a Young Writer’ (2022), ‘Treasure of Words’ (2022), and ‘Secret Behind the Words’ (2023). My latest publication, ‘Love and Tragedies,’ has also been released, and I have been honoured with the title of the youngest novelist and bestselling author for this work,” he said.

“He said I have been fortunate to receive substantial support from my family, as my parents and two siblings have offered various forms of assistance in the process of publishing my books; such achievements would not have been feasible without their support. Additionally, my friends have also extended their unwavering support throughout my publishing journey”, Sofi said.

Adding, “I have established standard pricing for all my books, ensuring that they are accessible for purchase through various online platforms, as I wish for people to engage with my work. Additionally, I serve as a publishing consultant for several publishing houses and offer comprehensive support to writers seeking to publish their works not only in Kashmir but across all states of India. Any writer from Jammu and Kashmir interested in publishing their book is encouraged to reach out to me, as I am committed to providing them with the necessary assistance.”

Azam stated that, due to some health challenges, he was unable to utilise social media platforms for several years following the publication of his books. Currently, he is actively engaging with his readers through these platforms, allowing individuals to become acquainted with his work. Additionally, he provides information to his audience via social media, further enhancing their awareness of his contributions.

Sofi stated that individuals aspiring to write their own books should persist in their writing practices. With dedication, these individuals will eventually be able to write on any topic, as writing serves as the most effective means for readers to become acquainted with an author’s work.

“Individuals seeking to have their writing published often require financial assistance, as not everyone can afford the associated costs. This support is essential for their work to be transformed into published books. However, I have been fortunate to receive various forms of support while navigating numerous challenges throughout my writing journey, he added.

Sofi emphasised that individuals interested in the writing journey should persist in their writing practices. Such dedication will lead to success in their lives. It is essential for these individuals to confront challenges, as overcoming obstacles is a crucial aspect of achieving success. The writing journey is characterised by fluctuations, where no two days are alike, Azam said.

 

“I have encountered numerous challenges throughout my writing journey until all my books were published. However, I have gained valuable insights from these trying experiences. Currently, I offer comprehensive support to writers aspiring to publish their works anywhere in India, as I wish to spare others from the difficulties I faced during my own writing journey,” he added.

Aazam‘s work spans a wide array of themes, reflecting his diverse experiences and deep emotional insights. He has written extensively on topics such as sibling relationships, betrayal, mothers, fathers, friendship, enmity, and love. Many of these pieces are intensely personal, offering readers a window into his soul and the struggles he has endured. Beyond his books, Aazam plays a vital role in the artistic community as an organising member at ArtsWithBreetton and a podcaster at BreettonWoods Production. His resilience is particularly inspiring; despite dealing with high impulsivity and anxiety, Aazam has amassed a beautiful collection of 170 poems and numerous short stories by the age of 18.

Aazam Zahoor Sofi’s story spans extraordinary talent and unyielding determination. His ability to turn personal struggles into artistic triumphs makes him a remarkable figure in contemporary literature. His journey continues to inspire, offering a powerful reminder of the transformative power of writing and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
