Qissa acquires the scientific work of an internationally renowned PhD scholar of Botany, Ms. Mehwish Jaffer, who has to her name more than six scientific publications. Her book A Practical Guide to Herbaceous Flora of Lahore, can now be found on Qissa.
Ms. Hafsa, a geneticist by profession, and an amazing writer, chooses Daastan as her publisher and Qissa as the portal that brings her work to the public.
Daastan focuses on spreading the message of our company by speaking at Literary Events across the country about self publishing, and providing those interested with opportunities which can help them start their career as a writer.
Our team branches out and provides sponsorships to Olympiads and Literary Events across the country to encourage participation in competitions related to literature and draw out talented people.
Empowering females has always been a major focus at Daastan, and this collaboration gives our team the chance to expose the lady bloggers of Pakistan to multiple opportunities, by connecting them to Qissa through which they can market their skills.
Outcast Magazine, an internationally acclaimed LGBTQ+ rights magazine, conducts an additional season of our competition The Stories Untold, titled as '4x', to raise awareness about the abuse faced by the shunned community and give them a voice.
