Hi, I’m Sarah.
About me.
I work with words. I'm a freelance book editor and award-winning author of The Skin and Its Girl, a Stonewall Honor Book & winner of the 2023 Barbara Gittings Literature Award. I have an MFA from the Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, where I was a Rona Jaffe Graduate Creative Writing Fellow in fiction. My writing has appeared in the Washington Post, New Ohio Review, Majuscule, North American Review, LEON Literary Review, Crab Orchard Review, and others. I traveled in Palestine to help complete my novel, but I also discovered a surprising family connection in the ancient Nabulsi soap-making trade.
As a writer, Arab American, military spouse, and queer woman, I'm interested in how people define and identify with one another’s differences. Since 2003, I’ve experimented with narratives drawn from my Lebanese background and told them with a fabulist twist. My hard drive contains multitudes.
