Events
Sarah has a degree in Theatre and a love for live events! She is based near Cleveland, Ohio, and will consider any events in reasonable driving distance and/or those with paid travel, as well as virtual events. Her booked upcoming events are detailed here.
Sarah is an experienced speaker, including as a keynote, panelist, and panel moderator, as well as a trained improvisational actor ready for anything. Almost. She is also happy to hang out at event tables to talk books all day more casually!
Interviews
Sarah is more than happy to join podcasts, speak with journalists, and otherwise participate in interviews. She loves to talk anything bookish, small press life and experiences, surviving the Query Trenches as an unagented published author, life as a momma and writer, freelance editing experiences in fiction, writing community, and witchery.
Writing has always been Sarah’s career path, but the last decade was focused on technical and industry, as well as DEI, nonprofit work, and strategy. All of this comes to bear in any interview setting. She also loves cats.
Book Clubs
Interested in adding The Keepers to your book club’s reading rotation? Sarah would love to pop in in-person or virtually to answer any questions!
Reach out on social media or by email in a way that stands out from the absurd amount of AI-bot pretend book clubs that Sarah has to send to spam literally daily. Those are gross, you’re probably super cool.
Book club discussion questions to be added here soon!
Community
Witches welcome. Writers welcome.
Sarah loves to network with peers and new friends in her communities—Cleveland and beyond. Find her often (too often?) on Threads.
She is available for requests to blurb books, especially indie, debut, and fantasy books from underrepresented authors. On a more limited availability, Sarah is happy to consider outreach for ARC and beta reading. She is also a freelance editor for more in-depth feedback.
Sarah loves to collaborate on social media (e.g., Instagram posts) and for any content. It’s more fun together.
