Writertuber & Podcaster Extraordinaire: Ana Neu's Origin Story | The Write Opinion Podcast EP. 4

hello, today we have a special guest, ana neu! for those that have been following me on instagram, you'll know that ana and i are good friends. this episode is actually the first time we ever spoke over video (recorded november 2022), and since then i've been lucky enough to have her as a dear friend and support throughout my writing journey. because this episode is from a year ago, it's amazing to see the growth that ana has gone through in her writing journey, so i also highly recommend checking out her youtube channel where ana shares writing advice, makes writing vlogs, and reacts to her subscibers' writing as well. she has a podcast where she talks about her own writing projects, the writing experience, and does guest interviews. she is also going to be self-publishing her debut novel GHOSTCIDE, and she talks all about that process on her channel.
enjoy! & be sure to let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Really great interview. @ananeu was one of the first UA-cam writing podcasters I stumbled upon. She is great for the community--I remember when I first started my own YT channel, she was super encouraging and engaging even with smaller creators.
