Pawan Mishra is an Indian-American novelist and storyteller writing in Hindi and English. He grew up in
Aligarh, India — one of seven siblings, the son of a schoolteacher — and studied Mathematics and Computing at
the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. His debut novel, Coinman: An Untold Conspiracy, a satire of office
politics in small-town northern India, won the 2016 eLit Book Award for Literary Fiction and the Readers’
Favorite International Award, and was a finalist for the NIEA Award for Humor and IAN Book of the Year.
Kirkus Reviews called it “an absurdist tale of office and personal politics.” Beyond the page, he produced and

He is the founder of the Lune Spark Center for Creativity, an arts-education center in North Carolina, and of
