About me

 



Hello! I'm Sarahbeth; I don't have a middle name. You can call me Beth, or SB.

I've been writing since I was old enough to hold a crayon, and I'm a self-published author of four books. My genres are memoir, YA fiction, and poetry, with themes that cover religion, feminism, and self-exploration. "Coming of age" stories are my favorite: I love reading/writing about flawed characters who learn from their past mistakes, or use a painful past as motivation to make positive changes in the world.

I graduated from Kent State University in May 2011 with a degree in English Literature. I now live in Denver, Colorado. While my writing career is still in the launching process, I have no idea what my "day job" will be, but that's part of the adventure, right?

Other random facts about me: I have four tattoos and my hair is constantly changing colors. I make my own jewelry. Pretzels are my favorite food. I'm obsessed with history (particularly the medieval and Tudor eras), kittens, and anything British. I may be the only millennial alive who hates smart phones, even though I use one. I definitely judge people for using poor grammar: ending sentences with prepositions is like nails on a chalkboard.

I want to be a member of the Red Hat Society one day. I prefer getting to know people one-on-one over coffee rather than at parties or other social events (Myers-Briggs says I'm an INTJ). My ideal Saturday night is a Law and Order: SVU marathon followed by a good book and good wine. I will always choose a real book over a Kindle.

If dreams really do come true, maybe one day you'll see my name in the book review section of the New York Times. Follow me on Twitter, Goodreads, or 'like' my author page on Facebook to stay up to date on future writing projects!
