ABOUT SARA
I’m a writer with a focus on mental health, motherhood, and domestic violence. My work has appeared in Slate, Tablet, The Forward, The Jerusalem Post, Kveller, and elsewhere. Since 2009 I have also worked as an independent book editor, having begun my publishing career at Alfred A. Knopf. I currently live in Washington, D.C. with my family.
