Sanman Thapa writes about labor, migration, memory, and the quiet reckonings that shape a life.
Born in Nepal and now living in the United States, his work explores survival, dignity, displacement, and the complicated space between cultures. His memoir A Fight for a Cup of Chai traces a journey through factory labor, injury, immigration, and resilience. His novella From the Window reflects on youth, longing, and the fragile architecture of hope.
He is the founder of Arti-Facts Publishing, an independent imprint created to share stories rooted in lived experience, memory, and overlooked histories.
Beyond writing, Sanman is a bilingual school counselor committed to supporting immigrant students and families. His professional work informs his belief that every story carries weight, especially those often overlooked.
He writes to remember.
He writes to honor.
He writes because stories travel where people sometimes cannot.
