Soufiane L is a Moroccan writer and designer with a deep passion for storytelling in all its forms. His works span poetry, drama, fantasy, and literary fiction, capturing the raw essence of human emotions. Whether through heart-wrenching novellas, introspective poetry, or thought-provoking short stories, his writing delves into the complexities of life where dreams often slip away, characters face harsh realities, and the beauty of sorrow lingers on every page.
His collection includes:
Human (Novella, 2023) – A profound exploration of identity and existence.
In Hell (Novella, 2020) – A gripping descent into despair and the human condition.
Migrant (Literary Texts, 2022) – A collection reflecting on displacement and longing.
Scars (Emotional Texts, 2022) – A raw and poetic look at pain and healing.
Captive | Rising from the Ruins (Story, 2025) – A tale of endurance and transformation.
Blue & Pink (Stories, 2025) – A deep, emotional exploration of men and women’s struggles.
Nights (Poetry Collection, 2025) – A journey through the depths of sorrow.
Echoes of an Unfinished Truth (Poetry Collection, 2025) – A reflection on lingering emotions and unresolved truths.
Miserable Sorrows (Poetry Collection, 2025) – A melancholic dive into human suffering.
Soufiane’s unique storytelling blends reality with pure emotional expression, often challenging conventional narratives. His characters rarely achieve their desires just as in life, they struggle, suffer, and confront the weight of their choices.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The last book I published was “The Virtuous America ” inspired by Trump. It’s a story about an American president who decides to run for a third term and rallies his followers to pressure government institutions.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nothing too strange. Maybe the only unique thing I do is act out some of the situations my characters go through. It helps me connect with them better and understand how they would move, react, and even speak in those moments.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Victor Hugo and George Orwell, especially in literature. I’ve also read Orwell’s essays and learned a lot from them. I admire how honest he was about himself he didn’t try to paint himself as the greatest person ever.
I also like Gustave Le Bon and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Rousseau’s struggles resonate with me; I can relate to his conflicting emotions, though he never compromised his core values.
These writers have had a huge impact on me, both creatively and personally.
What are you working on now?
I’m finishing a novel called Autumn Leaves. I started writing it three years ago, then left it untouched for a long time. Now, I feel like it’s time to complete it the way I always envisioned. It’s a quiet, romantic novel no drama, just a calm and heartfelt story. I hope to bring it to life the way I imagine it.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve just started, and honestly, I’m not great at marketing my books. Right now, I’m focusing on writing. Maybe once I finish my pending projects, I can dive into marketing. But I am researching and learning how to promote books properly.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Give up if you don’t truly want this. Seriously, if writing is in you, it will always pull you back. Don’t force it. Writing is like life you don’t force yourself to live, you just do.
Also, remember that there are no clear rules for judging literature or creativity. Readers decide what’s good. So focus on your audience, give them your best, and your style and ideas will naturally grow over time.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Pretty much what I just told new writers: don’t let negative opinions discourage you. What matters most is that you believe in yourself and find readers who appreciate what you do. Because in the end, they’re the ones who truly judge your work.
What are you reading now?
I’m currently reading a biography of Molière. I’m discovering new sides of him it’s a fascinating story about an extraordinary man.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Reaching readers. I’ve spent too much time searching for myself and even more time chasing perfection. Now, I realize that was a mistake. Striving for perfection is an illusion. A writer’s job is to create, not to bury themselves in unrealistic standards set by others.
What is your favorite book of all time?
That’s a tough one. But emotionally, I have to go with Confessions by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It’s an incredible book, and even if it’s not objectively the best, it left a deep mark on my soul. So, for me, it’s the best.
