WRITING

Sarah is the author of the forthcoming novel Juno, and the Long Eye of History, continuing the critically acclaimed exploration begun with The True (Editura Integral, 2021) and What Stella Sees (Cove International, 2018).

Her essays, interviews, and criticism have appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books, CultureBot, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, and others. In 2025, she joins CultureBot as a correspondent for Letters from London, a monthly dispatch exploring the cultural edge of the UK’s performance and innovation scenes.
