Harshil Shah – Books Barista Marketeer – It has been quite an interesting journey where we received hundreds of entries across varied genres. Again it was a tedious task of going through these submissions and selecting the shortlist entries. From the longlist to shortlist and now the winners the idea was to have a story which is looking forward in its approach- futuristic, creating a world of positivity, change, discovering hidden truths, unconditional sacrifice, sheer content, wellness, regional prowess, newness, stories of courage, original work, inspiring and overall creativity. 

Pen N Paper Awards team was also looking for stories which would stir a discussion, thought provoking and make one think of various infinite possibilities, outcomes it can create in one’s mind & lives and create a paradigm shift. As it is said things always happen twice, once in mind and then in reality.

At Pen N Paper Awards the idea is to recognize the talent across spectrums for which we are also coming up with identifying and felicitating 50 Women Authors across varied fields.
