Shamim Sarif writes across genres and mediums. Her early novels, The World Unseen and I Can’t Think Straight, are literary fiction exploring love and identity in settings where both are constrained by social expectations. She adapted both novels into films, which she also directed.

Her more recent work includes the Athena Protocol series, a pair of young adult thrillers about an all-female covert ops team. The shift from literary fiction to YA action shows her range, though both strands of her career share an interest in women making difficult choices under pressure.
