On April 29, 2005 Amatullah died several weeks after undergoing a bone marrow transplant for the leukemia she endured for three years. Amatullah was a gifted writer and an exceptional Muslimah. She loved Allah, her family and she loved Muslim children, young and old.. This book is her legacy to writers and readers everywhere. May Allah reward her for the knowledge she has left for us.

Reviews
"Star Writers, a manual for creative writing written by our late Sister Amatullah Al-Marwani, is one of the most original and refreshing books I've seen for quite some time. Set up as an interactive exploration into how to stimulate an eager young writer's imagination, it offers many lessons to engage our youth in that most noble of pursuits: writing with intellect and flair. I would definitely encourage Muslim parents, and English departments in Islamic schools, to acquire this book for their budding young authors. The simple fact that it is very Islam-proactive in its hints and suggestions, while at the same time written in perfect language for today's youth, calls for its adoption in English curriculums everywhere."
