About Saz 

Saz Vora  is a passionate storyteller,  wife and mother, and a proud voice of multicultural Britain. Born in East Africa and raised in Coventry in the heart of the Midlands, Saz grew up balancing the vibrant rhythms of her Gujarati Indian roots with her British upbringing. This rich cultural tapestry infuses every word she writes.

Saz’s powerful debut novels, My Heart Sings Your Song and its sequel Where Have We Come—a finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2020—weave a deeply emotional tale of love, loss, family, and resilience. Based on her experience, her work fearlessly explores the often-unspoken realities of baby loss within South Asian families in Britain, shining a light on stories that need to be told.

Her talent has also been recognised in short form—her poignant piece on a childhood memory, Broad Street Library was longlisted for the Spread the Word Life Writing Prize 2020.

Before embracing her writing career, Saz enjoyed a successful career in television production and teaching. But storytelling has always been her true passion. Today, she crafts heartfelt narratives that reflect the layered complexities of multicultural identity, family expectations, and women’s experiences—especially those often shrouded in silence.

With a love for music, food, and film (from Bollywood to Hollywood and everything in between), her books are rich with references that connect readers to her world. Each story is a soulful blend of emotion and authenticity, written for readers who appreciate the depth and drama of South Asian family life and the power of voice in confronting taboo topics. Her books are aimed at new adults, contemporary romance, women’s fiction and book club fiction readers – stories that make you think, for readers who like the multicultural layers of South Asian family melodrama, Bollywood style gatherings and lots of references to food. They will also appeal to readers of stories that cover adult themes. She draws on her upbringing in England and the layers of complexity of living with her Indian heritage and her Britishness and uses this to create stories to represent that.

Saz supports several charitable organisations, the UK Asian Film Festival, as a board member responsible for emerging talent and as a founding member of the Asian Circle an affiliate of The Circle, an NGO set-up by Annie Lennox. The Asian Circle is currently working with Oxfam India with indigenous communities in the eastern state of Chhattisgarh, on women’s issues. She passionately believes in raising awareness of mental health and supports Sands with their ongoing research into Neonatal deaths and supporting families through their grief journey. Locally she is trustee with Ealing Music Therapy, a charity that provides music therapists to young people and children in special and mainstream schools.
