PIA GHOSH-ROY grew up in Calcutta, India. After many exciting/manic years in advertising—working in Calcutta, Bangalore, Bombay and London—she wrote her first short story, which was published in Litro. Since then, her work has appeared in Prairie Schooner, Ambit, CRAFT, Lunch Ticket, Structo, River Teeth, Berfrois and other journals, along with prize anthologies.
She’s the recipient of the 2017 Hamlin Garland Award for her short story The Resurrection of Rakesh Sharma, and the 2019 Cagibi Macaron Prize for her non-fiction Separated by the Wingspan of a Moth. Her work has been placed in the Aestas Fabula Press Award, and short- and longlisted for the Brighton Prize, Bath Short Story Award, Berlin Writing Prize and Fish Short Story Prize amongst others.
Pia is currently working on her first novel.
She is represented by Amy St Johnston at Aitken Alexander Associates.
