“I wrote my first ‘book’ on a playdate in the third grade. My friend and I actually sent it to a publisher. They sent a kind letter back, letting us know that while they weren’t able to publish our story, we should keep writing. I never gave up…and as an adult I’m a published writer. So…if this is your dream, pursue it!”
We appreciate you cheering our youth authors on, Sarah! To find out more about Sarah, you can visit her at www.sarahlynnbooks.com
Sarah Lynn (Scheerger) works as a clinical social worker with at-risk youth, helping them figure out who they are and who they want to be. She also provides counseling to adults and couples. She lives in southern California with her husband and children. Sarah started out writing under her first and middle name (Sarah Lynn) because she thought having a pen name seemed mysterious and cool. However, over time she’s transitioned to writing under her real name as well (both Sarah Scheerger and Sarah Lynn Scheerger). Sarah loves reading, watching movies, and spending time with her family and friends.
