Anangsha Alammyan: Author, writer, youtuber [The Collector's Podcast Ep. #11]

Anangsha Alammyan is a published author, top writer on Quora and Medium. We discussed her published novels, incredible journey on medium, and the book recommendations.

Few highlights from our conversation:

How I used the quarantine to the best of my abilities. Work from home has given me more time and flexibility to concentrate on my writing. Though I keep juggling between my full-time job and my passion, I try to make as much time as possible for my writing.

The aim of my novel What Did Tashi Do was to make people aware especially women about cybercrime and the sensitive personal information we share online. Although my novel is fictional, it is based on the real event that happened to me when my Facebook account was hacked and the hacker got access to all my personal images and messages.

One of my Medium articles crossed $100 in a week. I started writing on Medium in early 2020 and did not pay much attention to my work. But when one of the articles got published in a big publication and earned a good amount of $$$, I realized the potential on Medium and wrote every day for almost 4 months consistently. Now, I earn passively through articles I already wrote and concentrate on writing premium pieces.

The Book Sapiens have made me more forgiving by applying cold logic. Another book that stood out for me is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy which is a science fiction and narrated in a funny tone. This book deals with the constant dilemma of the human race to think about what would life would be if we would have chosen another road.

And whenever you try to do something different, people around you will try to pull you down and project their own insecurities. But believe in yourself and keep learning.
