Fazila Cariem

Fazila Cariem is a qualified CA (SA) and finance manager for a renewable energy company by day. Tortured writer by night. That’s a lie. Not tortured, and she doesn't write at night—she writes during the early hours of the morning. 

In 2023, she wrote and self‑published her debut novella, Her Peace at War, a story inspired by true events and best described as an emotional exorcism disguised as fiction. Since then, she has wandered boldly into a new genre: sci‑fi with a hearty dose of indigenous Cape Town flavour. Think cosmic adventures… with a dash of rooibos tea and Kaapse slang.

​

Writing is but one of her creative outlets. The others include attempting to get creative with weights at the gym and occasionally living out her parody‑production dreams on TikTok, where she masquerades as @Faz_scribblez. Instagram sees a calmer version of her at @faz_scribblez.

Renewables fuel her day job, but stories? Stories fuel everything else.
