The Asian Literature: Welcome to The Asian Literature, author. Congratulations on the release of your book. What responses are you getting from your readers? Please share your thoughts and experiences with this book.
Author:
Thank you so much! The response has been overwhelming in the best way possible. Readers have shared how deeply they resonate with Kia and Karan’s journey, and that has been the most rewarding part—knowing that others are feeling the emotions I poured into these pages. This book is personal, raw, and filled with pieces of me, and seeing it touch hearts makes all the effort worth it.
The Asian Literature: What encouraged you to become an author?
Author:
Writing has always been my escape, my way of making sense of the world. As a clinical psychology student, I have always been fascinated by human emotions, relationships, and healing. I never imagined I would write a novel, but the story of The Letters We Never Sent found me, and I couldn’t ignore it. The need to give voice to these emotions and experiences pushed me to finally leap.
The Asian Literature: What are your favorite topics of writing? Please tell us something about your interest areas in literature.Author:
I love writing about human emotions, relationships, and self-discovery. Psychology plays a huge role in my storytelling because I believe every character is shaped by their past, their wounds, and their healing journey. Romance, blended with deep emotional exploration, is my favorite genre because love—whether romantic, familial, or self-love—has the power to transform people.
The Asian Literature: We were hoping you could tell us about some of those writers who inspired you and whom you follow!
Author:
I have been deeply inspired by authors like Colleen Hoover, Ana Huang, and Monica Murphy. Their ability to weave emotions so powerfully into their narratives has always fascinated me. I also admire Rupi Kaur for her raw and unfiltered expression of emotions through poetry. Every book that makes me feel something has, in some way, shaped my writing.
The Asian Literature: The title seems different and catchy; how did you decide on it? Please let us know the story behind it.
Author:
The title The Letters We Never Sent perfectly captures the essence of the book—unspoken words, untold emotions, and the longing to connect. Kia and Karan communicate through letters that were never meant to be sent, yet those words are what ultimately bring them together. It’s a story of vulnerability, love, and healing, and the title just felt right from the very beginning.
The Asian Literature: What are your achievements so far? Tell us something about your writing career.
Author:
Publishing this book is, by far, my biggest achievement. It’s not just about the book itself but the journey of believing in myself enough to put my words out into the world. Before this, I wrote poetry and short stories, but this novel feels like my true beginning as an author.
The Asian Literature: What is your current goal in writing? How do you see your future in writing?
Author:
Right now, my goal is to keep telling stories that resonate with people, stories that make them feel seen. I hope to continue exploring the complexities of human emotions through fiction. In the future, I see myself writing more novels and maybe even venturing into poetry collections.
The Asian Literature: Are there any other books being worked on by you? Please let us know about your future projects.
Author:
Yes! I have a few ideas brewing for my next book—another emotionally rich story that explores love, trauma, and healing. Right now, I’m letting the characters take shape in my mind before I start putting their story on paper.
The Asian Literature: How do you see Indian writing in the 21st century? What changes do you see in the modern way of writing? Do you feel it has changed over time?
Author:
Indian writing has evolved beautifully, with more diverse and authentic voices coming forward. Modern literature is more raw, inclusive, and emotionally resonant, which I love. With platforms like social media, self-publishing, and the rise of new-age storytelling, I think Indian authors have more opportunities than ever to share their unique perspectives with the world.
The Asian Literature: How easy/difficult was it for you to publish your book? What message would you like to give to budding authors?
Author:
Publishing my book was a journey filled with excitement, learning, and challenges. From writing and editing to finalizing the cover and handling all the publishing details, it was a process that taught me patience and persistence. To budding authors, I’d say: Write your story the way only you can. Don’t be afraid of imperfections; just start. Someone out there needs your words.
