The story felt real and left a lasting impression.What’s really inspiring about Ananya is how she talked about dealing with failure and fear.There were times I just stared at an empty page, she said.

Edit carefully.Maitreyee’s interview showed us a young writer who’s wise beyond her years. For Ananya, writing is about people reading her story.Don’t write to win, she said.
