Sakshi Nagwan: From Passionate Writer to Award-Winning Author
Some journeys begin with a dream. Sakshi Nagwan’s began with the faith of her family. Inspired deeply by her parents and her sister Aditi, who recognized her inner strength before the world did, Sakshi was encouraged to turn her hobby into a career path. What started as a creative passion soon became a serious writing journey after she completed her bachelor’s degree.
Like many young writers, Sakshi faced her share of struggles in the beginning. Finding the right platform was not easy. Even after discovering Story Mirror, reaching the right audience remained a challenge. Along the way, she also faced the fear of trying new writing styles and the uncertainty that often comes with self-publishing platforms. But instead of stepping back, she kept moving forward with a dream close to her heart — to publish her project, Hamsaya.

Her dedication soon began to shine through recognition. Sakshi secured 8th position in Women Write Now on Story Mirror and was also selected among the top 10 best stories in the same competition. Her growing talent earned her the titles of Literary Colonel and Literary Captain on Story Mirror, along with two nominations for Author of the Week and a nomination for Author of the Year.
Her achievements continued beyond the digital writing space. In 2026, she was honoured as the Most Promising Author of the Year by Diva Planet Magazine. She was also selected for National Litstar Summit 2026 and featured in Tales of Fatherhood, organised by Blue Star Publication. Adding to her list of honours, she received the National Excellence Achiever’s Award from the Welred Foundation, West Bengal.
Sakshi’s excellence has also been recognized on an international level. She received the International Icon Award 2026 for authoring and writing, along with the Women Icon Award 2026 in the same field. Her book, Kahaniyo Me Jhalakati Yaade Kuch Vade, was awarded Best Book in Contemporary Short Story Collection in Goa.
From family support to literary recognition, Sakshi Nagwan’s journey reflects the power of belief, persistence, and creative courage. With every story she writes, she continues to build a name defined not just by awards, but by a voice that is finding its place in the literary world.
