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 & shortlistee for the 2024 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize in Fiction. I have an MFA from the Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, where I was a Rona Jaffe Graduate Creative Writing Fellow. My writing has appeared in The Rumpus, Washington Post, Lit Hub, Electric Literature, Mizna, New Ohio Review, North American 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 and photographer, I'm interested in how people define and identify with one another’s differences. Since 2003, I’ve experimented with queer narratives drawn from my Lebanese background and told them with a fabulist twist. Lately, I’m interested in the fuzzy border between human and nonhuman worlds. My hard drive contains multitudes.
