In this engaging conversation, Niloufar Lamakan shares her journey as an author, discussing her debut novel 'Aged to Perfection' and the challenges she faced in the writing and publishing process. She emphasises the importance of resilience in the face of rejection and the need to break stereotypes surrounding age in literature. Niloufar also highlights her passion for dancing and her unique approach to marketing her book, while looking forward to future projects that continue to celebrate age defiance.
Niloufar Lamakan is an Iranian-born author and artist. She moved to the UK as a child and has lived in London most of her life. She came to writing after careers in technology, design, art, and property. Her debut novel, Aged to Perfection, won the Commendation Award at the Comedy Women in Print Prize and was a finalist at the Page Turner Awards.
She writes bold, romantic comedies that are unapologetically age defiant. Her art also explores the connections between age, identity, and society’s perceptions of beauty. When she’s not painting or writing, you’ll find her on the dancefloor.
