Anup Mukherjee | Anup Adriym

Author ( SFF / Literary ) & Youtuber

I live at a place where the river flows and the land encircles, and the roads embed themselves like sinews. Seriously, I love to read, write and travel. I blog at HueLike.com with specific focus on books and literary / creative works and also self-help and motivation. I vlog at HueLike Vlog

I love to write a good story. Particularly, I love to write stories that have speculative / fantasy elements in it. Also, I happily read fiction of different genres. 

My qualifications include an MA in History, and an MBA in Finance and Marketing (dual specialization). I have worked in the fields of taxation, accounts and legal compliance.

I’m also a mentee of the SFWA Career Mentorship Program (Dec 2019 – March 2020) which is a three month industry-awareness program, “providing community, sharing knowledge, and offering networking opportunities… focused on professional development rather than artistic development.”

I was also selected for SFWA non-US 2021 Nebula Conference scholarship.

My pen name for non-academic / fiction writing is Anup Adriym
