Hi, I’m Sarah.
I'm an American living in London. My debut novel, All the Other Mothers Hate Me, is being published in Spring 2025 by Putnam in the US and 4th Estate in the UK. Translation rights have sold to 15 countries and I’m currently working on a screen adaptation for FX with the guys who made The Bear.
Before all my wildest dreams came true, I was a broadcast journalist and news anchor. I still own a lot of jewel-toned blazers.
I have a free newsletter, Cautiously Optimistic. It’s a monthly round up of the best stuff I read, watched and bought. Subscribe here.
