ABOUT MIKE SAHNO – AUTHOR. EDITOR. PUBLISHER.

Before he became a publisher or even a writer, Mike Sahno was a speaker.

“I started talking at a very young age, and would engage strangers in conversation from my perch in the shopping cart,” he says with a chuckle. “They’d look at my mother and say, How old is he?”

Sahno began reading before he’d even been taught his ABCs, much to the surprise of his family.

“My parents were always great about reading to me, and I guess I decoded the language from looking at the words,” he explains. “This was in an era when they didn’t teach you to read until first grade – it was See Spot run, ‘Dick and Jane,’ all that stuff.

“One night my grandmother was reading the newspaper, and I started reading an article about the Cincinnati Reds out loud to her. She thought I was making it up until she looked down and saw I was reading it word for word. That got everyone’s attention.”

Sahno also began writing stories at an early age. In high school and college, he was Editor-in-Chief of the campus literary magazine. The quality of his work led to multiple awards and honors. After earning his Bachelor’s from the University of Lynchburg, he went on to complete his Master’s in English from Binghamton University at the age of 24.

He became a full-time professional writer in 2001 and, in the following years, wrote more than 1,000 marketing articles on a wide range of topics.

Since founding Sahno Publishing in 2015, he has gone on to achieve national and international recognition, publishing and selling five novels and a short story collection.

“As an author, I focus on character in my work, marrying the comedies and tragedies of modern life,” he says. “My novels are by turns funny, sad, controversial, and always honest. Genres include Satirical and Humorous Fiction, Literary Fiction, and Metaphysical & Visionary Fiction.”

Since the initial launch of the company in 2015, Sahno has released a short story collection called Rides From Strangers, Whizzers in 2019, and Hot Scenes in 2026. Also as of 2026, the Sahno Publishing imprint will be used exclusively for Sahno’s books.
