In the anniversary, aside of the main agenda that will be shared soon on our social media accounts, we will also be announcing many new developments in Sail, and so we’d love to have you all there.

As you know from our previous months announcements, we’ve now expanded into digital books publishing. Our first published book was “Alayah”, details in our previous month’s editorial. Our second book published just few days ago is called “Just Read It”, written by Omar AlBusaidy. The book is a day-to-day guide on self-development and touches upon the topics of emotional and social intelligence. It is addressed to the youth as well as professionals who wish to pursue greater achievements in both their personal and professional lives.

The book is now available on iBooks & Kindle. You can also leave your reviews on either of the platforms or on GoodReads. Get your digital copy of the book, and let us know what you think!
