I'm Sarah
HI THERE
From the moment my dad began reading The Hobbit to me as a child, I knew I wanted to work in the world of stories. For a while, that desire took me into the classroom where I taught writing to young children and read them some of the world's greatest living books. Then, it brought me into editing where, perhaps not surprisingly, I still do a lot of teaching. Now though, it's through one-on-one work with writers.
I enjoy working with authors at all experience levels—debut and veteran alike. All I require is a willingness to embark on the journey.
When I'm not editing, I'm chasing after my corgi, Pippin (of LotR fame, yes). My husband and I enjoy hiking, traveling, and cooking together.
