About
ILHAM ALAM was born in Kuwait City, Kuwait, in 1986 to expatriate parents. She lived there until 1997 when she alongside her family emigrated to Toronto, Canada. It was in Canada, while attending elementary school, that she was recognized for crafting simple themes and weaving words into engaging stories, which she has continued to do ever since.
At the University of Toronto, Ilham followed her love of stories by pursuing a degree in English Literature. She also wrote for Canada's largest student newspaper, The Varsity, at this time.
"Wonder Walk" is Ilham's first published book. Her short story also appears in Just Words Volume II and the Canadian Literary Arts Magazine, Blank Spaces. She lives in Toronto with her family, which includes a 20lb cat named Beauty.
Ilham believes that in order to be a writer, one needs to be a voracious reader and experience diverse genres and styles of writing, as well.
