Egyptian publishing house, Kayan Publishing, specialising in novels, short stories, science fiction, poetry, and non-fiction with an emphasis on Egyptian/Middle Eastern perspectives and cultural significance, has recently bought publishing and distribution rights of 22 works by renowned Egyptian author and doctor Ahmed Khalid Tawfik.
