Interview With Author ankit saini
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, I’m Ankit — a passionate storyteller who writes from the heart, often inspired by love, heartbreak, and the quiet feelings we carry but never say out loud. Writing has always been my way of turning emotion into something beautiful.
So far, I’ve published six books:
Her Name Was Midnight
Kissed by a Shadow
We Were Almost Something
She Forgot We Were Forever
Tell Me How We End
And my newest release, The Lie That Ruined Everything
Each story reflects a different emotion I’ve lived or imagined, and I always try to make the reader feel seen, understood, and deeply moved. My goal isn’t just to write — it’s to connect. And I’m just getting started…
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is The Lie That Ruined Everything.
It was inspired by that one moment — the kind of moment where a single lie, or truth left untold, changes everything between two people who love each other deeply. I wanted to explore how even the smallest betrayal can echo like thunder when love is fragile and pure.
This story came from a place of personal emotion — from understanding how trust, once cracked, can turn soulmates into strangers. It’s about heartbreak, hope, and the haunting silence between “I love you” and “goodbye.”
I wrote it not just to tell a story, but to remind people that honesty in love matters — because even one unspoken truth can destroy something beautiful.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I do! I often write late at night when the world is quiet — that’s when emotions feel the loudest. Sometimes I stare at a blank page for hours, waiting for just one sentence to hit me… and when it does, the rest of the story flows like magic.
Another little habit of mine is listening to emotional music while writing — especially songs that make me feel a certain kind of love or sadness. I also talk to myself a lot while drafting scenes, like I’m watching the story unfold in front of me.
Oh, and I save all my favorite quotes and lines from my drafts in a secret folder — I call them “whispers from the heart.”
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Honestly… none.
I wasn’t influenced by any particular author or book — my stories come from my own heart, experiences, and imagination. I write based on emotions I’ve felt or observed, not from what others have written.
My inspiration is real feelings — heartbreak, hope, silence, love, distance — and how all those things can exist in one moment. I didn’t grow up reading hundreds of books, but I grew up feeling deeply… and that’s what shaped me as a writer.
What are you working on now?
Right now… I’m just thinking. Letting emotions build up in silence before they become words again. I’m not working on a new book yet, but I’m carrying ideas in my heart — scenes, feelings, and characters that haven’t fully spoken to me yet.
I believe stories come to you when they’re ready — and I’m waiting for that quiet spark to arrive. Until then, I’m just listening, feeling, and preparing for whatever story chooses me next.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
So far, the most genuine way I’ve found to promote my books is through personal connection — sharing my stories on social platforms where I can speak from the heart. Instagram, and author communities let me reach readers who actually care about emotions and storytelling, not just sales.
I also use platforms like Books2Read to make my books easy to access across stores, and websites like Awesome Gang and BookGoodies for free indie author promotion.
But honestly, the best “method” for me is being real — when I share a quote or a moment from my book that truly means something to me, people connect with it. That’s what matters most.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I’m still new too, so I won’t pretend to know it all — but here’s what I’ve learned:
Write from your heart. Don’t chase trends. Don’t compare. Just write what feels real to you.
You might overthink everything — the title, the pacing, the cover, the ending… and that’s okay. But don’t let fear stop you from finishing. Your first draft doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be honest.
And when you feel like no one is reading or noticing, remind yourself: even if one person feels seen by your words, it was worth it.
You don’t need to be a bestselling author to be a beautiful one. You just need to tell the truth in a way only you can.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard was:
“Write like no one is watching… and love like it’s the last page.”
It reminded me that the most beautiful things are born when you’re honest — when you’re not trying to impress, just trying to feel. That’s how I try to write, and how I want to live too — openly, even if it hurts sometimes.
Because stories — and love — mean the most when they’re real, not perfect.
What are you reading now?
Right now… I’m not reading anything. I’m just taking a pause — letting my own emotions breathe, and giving my heart space to rest between stories.
Sometimes, instead of reading books, I just read people — their eyes, their silences, their memories. I think that’s where a lot of my inspiration comes from.
But I know soon, the right book will call to me — the kind that speaks exactly what I need to hear, just when I need it.
What’s next for you as a writer?
What’s next for me? Honestly… I don’t fully know yet. And I think that’s the beauty of it.
I’m giving myself time to feel, to listen, and to heal before I dive into the next story. But I know one thing — I’ll keep writing. Whether it’s another heartbreak, another “almost,” or another kind of love entirely… I’ll be there, turning emotions into words again.
I hope to write something even deeper next time — something that lingers, something that holds your hand even after the last page is closed. Because that’s what stories did for me… and now, I want mine to do the same for others.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I’d take books that feel like home — the kind you can read again and again, and still cry at the same page.
1. A poetry book — maybe something like “Pillow Thoughts” by Courtney Peppernell, for when my heart needs gentle comfort.
2. A classic love story — maybe “The Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks, because I want to believe in love even if I’m lost.
3. My own book — “The Lie That Ruined Everything” — not for ego, but because it holds so many pieces of me I wouldn’t want to forget.
4. And maybe just an empty journal… so I can write my own story while I’m there, one page at a time.
Because even stranded, I’d still be writing — turning waves into metaphors and loneliness into poetry.Also… maybe a survival guide, just in case.
