About Me

If you’re wondering who Snow White actually is, my name is Sara. I write retold fairy tales for young adults, and I have a bachelor’s degree in English and editing from Brigham Young University—a degree I actually use I’ll have you know. I’ve been a professional editor, copywriter, and content marketer in the tech industry for over ten years. But I knew by age six that I wanted to be a novelist.

Growing up, I was a voracious reader with a highly overactive imagination. I started many stories and made up my own mystery series and science fiction series by the time I was ten. By thirteen, I wrote the lion’s share of my first manuscript about the adventures of two rabbits in their little forest village. Then high school and life happened. Soon I was too busy to do more than think about writing someday. By the time I graduated college, I had still never finished anything.

By age twenty-six, I finally completed my first book! It was a little out there: a horror version of Beauty and the Beast with demonic possession and a heartrending love story. But once I got a taste of finishing, I never went back. I’ve completed six different books, and my seventh is in the works. These days I’m actively hunting for an agent and hope to get published soon.

If I’m not writing (or thinking about my writing), I’m probably watching YouTube, reading, cooking, home decorating, and spending every minute possible with my adorable baby and dashing husband. Andy and I have been married four years, and our family lives in Orem, Utah. I used to think fairy tales weren’t real until I lived one of my own. It’s still going!

This blog is a culmination of my lifelong love of fairy tales and my desire to document my publishing journey. If you’d like me to write about a specific tale, explore a topic, answer your questions, or just chat, you can email me at snowwhitewritesfairytales@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!
