About The Expert
Sarah Zachary was born in 1988, the only daughter of Stephen and Teresa Zachary. Although she always loved being read to as a child and took frequent library trips, she first discovered her love of writing in early high school, when she was assigned to write a paragraph of a fictional story. Sarah went on to write the first fifty pages of a play novel. When her friends showed enjoyment in her writing, Sarah went on to publish her first pieces of work online and gained followers who helped shape and critique her craft. She continued to write short stories and began to attempt to get her work published.
