Connecting the UAE Author Community
A professional home for UAE authors
A shelf shared by the creatives, for the community.
AlRaff (الرف) is the professional home for authors living and working in the UAE. Born from a shared love of stories, we bring authors together with each other, with schools and nurseries, with bookshops and readers, and give every UAE-authored book a chance to find its shelf.
Community. Connection. Creativity.
Diverse voices living side by side, creating a community through shared stories. A place where every author belongs, no matter what stage of their journey.
Community
Forging connections that bridge writers to readers, authors to schools, storytellers to new audiences. Building relationships that bring stories to life.
Connection
Harnessing curiosity and creative ambition, sharing inspiration and nurturing new ideas. A space where expression is celebrated and every voice has a place.
