Anusha believes a way with words can make good writers, but a way with thoughts can make excellent ones. It's no wonder she's a writer for a living and a writer for life. She's a Potterhead and GRRM fan—she'll give you the death-stare if you make fun of her for it. She loves all things fiction, and consumes self-help books with just as much enthusiasm. Quiet by Susan Cain is her personal bible. A habitual daydreamer, she often returns to Earth with something interesting to share. She's happy she can finally marry her deep and motivational thoughts to her love of writing at Soulveda.
