Anamta Choudhry
Anamta is a poetess, storyteller, and writer known for her horror fiction and tales of exorcism. Born and raised in the UAE with roots in Pakistan, she holds a master's in English Literature and a degree in French, shaping her layered worldview and love for language with a desi twist.
Writing runs in her blood. From narrating epic sagas to her toys as a child to listening to her father spin stories, storytelling became the glue connecting people one tale at a time. Her horror and fiction exorcisms challenge what readers believe possible, with unapologetically truthful prose and heartwarmingly poetic verses.
Her voice has reached wide audiences through numerous online publications and literary forums. With nearly a decade and a half as a language trainer and professor, her worldview is richly layered. She's also a diehard fan of handwritten letters because nothing says "I care" like ink on paper.
