Ara Grigorian is a USA Today Bestselling author of the international award-winning novel Game of Love and the Fortuny Bay series.

Fascinated by the human species, Ara writes about second chances, choices, and relationships in coastal or small-town settings. When not devising hopefully-ever-after stories or navigating the ever-evolving strategies in the entertainment industry, he is evangelizing the value of coffee and chocolate to anyone who'll listen. 

​

Ara is also a technology executive in the entertainment industry. He earned his Masters in Business Administration from University of Southern California.

True to the Hollywood life, Ara wrote for a children's television pilot that could have made him rich (but didn't) and nearly sold a video game to a major publisher (who closed shop days later). 

He is a story coach and a workshop leader for the Southern California Writers' Conference, Santa Barbara Writers Conference, and the Writer's Digest Novel Writing Conference. Ara is represented by Stacey Donaghy of Donaghy Literary Agency.
