: About Me

Sarah is a young writer based in London, but has travelled and worked around the world extensively, particularly in Asia. She has a large background in hospitality and events management, but has recently changed her career to a simple reception job to concentrate on turning her writing into her job.

Sarah wrote at school for drama groups, and then her University magazine, focusing on the travel section. Whilst living in Melbourne she was a freelance writer for an online magazine, reviewing Melbourne's nightlife. She has also written for both the University of London, and the University of Melbourne's literary magazines, whilst she was there studying English Literature and creative writing.

Sarah is currently working on a number of writing projects; travel literature about her trek through the jungle in Borneo to stay with an Iban tribe, and her first novel which examines a Greek myth in a modern setting. She is also producing a number of travel and other articles that can be found here on Helium.
