In the nine years since Sara began her professional writing career, she has ghostwritten New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers and developed and edited dozens of self-published books.
Her work has appeared in a variety of publications, including Harvard Business Review, New York Magazine, The Des Moines Register, Spoilage Literary magazine, and many more. She writes on the topics of business, travel, how-to, memoir, and spirituality, and she helps new authors do the same.

Her fave authors are John Steinbeck, Hervé le Tellier, Donna Tartt, Paulo Coelho, and Edith Wharton, to name a few. You can keep her happy with noodles, chocolate, and tea, not necessarily together.
