Queeny Yalangi interview
AUTHOR INTERVIEW
A little introduction:
Hi readers, this is Queeny
Yalangi, author of "Life in Hyderabad a city of tales" book. I'm from
Hyderabad, India. I’m also a blogger, abstract painter, singer, podcast speaker,
and chef. Currently, I'm working for an MNC. I'm an MBA graduate but my love
for the English language made me an author.
I was always fascinated with
the bedtime stories my mom and grandparents used to tell me since I was young.
Without listening to stories I would never go to sleep. My thirst for stories
increased along with my age. So I asked mom where can I find more stories? She
said “Books”. That’s when my interest in books developed and I started reading
so many books and novels. My passion for reading grew more and I started
reading more than 25 books a month.
When did you start to have the wish to become an author?
Since I was
very much into books. I have always been in love with the authors, their books,
and the way they think. And one fine day in 2011 I wrote a two-page poem in 12
minutes when I was alone at home. That was the moment I realized that I was
born to write. Then I never turned back.
How have you found the process for becoming an author?
When
I began my journey towards writing world all I had was a dream. A dream to become
an International best-selling author, a dream to sign books, a dream to inspire
people across the globe. But the dream was not enough to become what I was
desired. For that I had to groom myself. So I wrote everyday. First I wrote poems,
then I wrote short stories, then I wrote quotes, then I wrote blogs, real stories etc.
With each passing day, I learned various writing styles. At one point of time,
I became an expert. That self-learning helped me a lot. So when I knew I was
ready to write a book, I wrote my debut book “Life in Hyderabad a city of
tales”. I used to mostly write after my office hours. Whatever the extra time I
had I used that to write my book. I hardly used to sleep 4 hours a day. When
finally I completed my book I met Fanatixx publication from India. When I met
them I had only the manuscript with me. But they guided me through the whole
process. I traveled with the publishing
team for a year and finally, my book was launched on February 07, 2021. I
waited a decade to see that moment. And
finally, when it happened I was filled with mixed emotions. In the pursuit of
becoming an author, I learned so much about patience, people, and life. It was
a great experience for me. Now, whenever I see my book and take it into my
hands I feel proud.
What would you say to those wanting to become an author?
I
would like to say one thing to aspiring writers. WRITE EVERY DAY. When you
write daily you will move one step closer towards your dream. If you become an expert in
writing, when someone gives you a word, you can write a sentence, when they
give you a sentence you can write a paragraph, when they give you a paragraph you
can write a whole story out of it. So pour the words on paper every day.
Tell us about your book/books:
Life in
Hyderabad is
a book of 21 Anecdotes, the stories of love, long, pain, and optimism. I
believe that there are many stories in the world, but only a few are heard. So
I wrote Life in Hyderabad book to introduce common people and their untold
stories. Some people fall in love, some people live in love, some people dwell
in that pain forever. Some stories have a happy ending while some remain
without an ending. So my book Life in Hyderabad is the voice of all such
stories. I also added a few poems and my
original minimalist Illustrations in this book at the beginning of each story.
Every story is different from other. All these stories are born out of
inspiration and observation. I observe people around me, I see their pain, I
see their story. And whenever I feel like a story needs a voice, I write that
story. So Life in Hyderabad book is all about such stories. Hope readers love
it.
What do you love about the writing/reading community?
I love writing
and reading communities. I was a bookworm before I became an author. So I know
about how welcoming readers are. They have supported me always. Whenever a
reader orders my book on Amazon or any other website. They DM me on Instagram,
Facebook, and Twitter. And I feel very happy to be connected with them through
social media. Now I’m part of the writing community and I love all the writers
from Twitter. They motivate me, support me, guide me and they even purchase my
book and write reviews from different countries. I love both communities and I
would like to thank them for being there for me always.
If you could say anything to your readers what would it be?
I would like to
say thanks to all my readers for reading my book and writing wonderful reviews
on Amazon, Instagram and Goodreads. I’m so happy to have found such lovely
readers. Keep reading my book. Keep sharing it with your friends and family
members. Those who have not read the book you can grab your copy from the below links :
