Welcome to the World of Stepanos Saghbazarian

Stepanos Saghbazarian Author Portrait Stepanos Saghbazarian with Critters at Niagara Falls

If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, wrestled with doubt, or wished for a story that really sees you—you belong here. Every book I write is an invitation: to find hope in hard places, to heal, to love, and to remember you’re never alone.

I believe stories can change lives because they changed mine. My worlds are filled with second chances, found families, imperfect heroes, and a little bit of magic (even in the darkest chapters). I want my readers to close a book feeling seen, strengthened, and inspired to be themselves—awkwardness and all.

When I’m not writing, I’m reading or dreaming up my next story, always searching for ways to help someone else feel hope, connection, and meaning. Thank you for being here. You matter, and I hope my words remind you of that, always.

Quick Facts & Fun❤️

Favorite place to write: Next to a window, especially if it’s raining.

Secret superpower: I remember how it feels to be the “weird kid.” (Still Am)

Current obsession: Turning awkwardness into art.

Favorite Awkward Critter: Ziggy ( he reminds me of me and always makes me smile—don’t tell Finn or Raven, especially not Shelly!)

Why I write: To help you see your own light, even in the toughest chapters of your life.

Thank you for visiting my world. I hope you find a little light and a lot of heart here—because you matter, and your story matters too. ❤️
