“Sarah was an engaging presenter for our students. In addition to her book with an intriguing plot for a magical fantasy story, my students were touched by Sarah’s writing advice, such as “You don’t have to be an amazing writer at the beginning. Just keep writing.” This resonated with our students as they started their own journeys with writing. Sarah is a writing role model for our students!
