Read Sarah's China Adoption Story
My creative path began in grade school when I declared my intention to become a dancer and a writer. I grew up to perform as a member of a small modern-jazz dance company, and then, years later, to watch in awe as my agent sold my first fiction in a publishing house bidding war that netted a six-figure advance from Random House. My novels are translated into eleven languages and have been optioned for film and television.
In addition to my best-selling fiction, my non-fiction books include the award-winning "Extremely Weird" children’s series, which also aired as a network television special. My short fiction and how-to pieces are included in anthologies, and I’ve worked as a freelancer for newspapers, magazines, and National Public Radio.
I’ve studied and trained with veterans from stage, page, and screen: Natalie Goldberg, Sam Shepard, Irene Fornes, Miriam Sagan, Chris Vogler, Robert McKee, and Tom Jenks. I embrace myriad writing techniques, including those of Julia Cameron, Janet Burroway, John Gardner, Dorothea Brande, and Anne Lamott. I’m a graduate of Coach U and Authentic Happiness Coaching.
My past nine creative lives include a season as guest playwright at Padua Hills Festival in California, a part as a dancing air-conditioner in a Japanese television commercial, and the role of founder and artistic director of Theatre-in-the-Red, a Rockefeller grant recipient for excellence. I’ve tried my hand at songwriting, acting, and tap dancing. I also earned a degree in criminal justice and worked for the New Mexico Office of the Attorneys General.
In addition to coaching writers, I teach creative writing, lecture on creative process, and work as a book doctor and manuscript consultant. I bring my experience, connections, and resources as a professional writer and lifelong creative to my work.
