About Sara

sara bates

Sara lives outside of Philadelphia with her husband and two little kids. Once a lawyer who spent her days navigating the Internal Revenue Code, Sara now spends her days dreaming up stories of kids and animals (and, sometimes, vegetables!) navigating the modern world.

Although Sara thinks the Universe was trying to be funny when it called her to raise kids and write books at the exact same time, she’s attempting to figure it out, nonetheless. She’s always been a sucker for a well-timed joke.

Her writing has been featured in The Kindred Voice, a women’s inspirational magazine, and the anthology My Caesarean: Twenty-One Mothers on the C-Section Experience and After published by The Experiment. Sara’s currently working on a middle grade novel set at the Jersey Shore and a chapter book series based loosely on her childhood.

Sara loves going to bed early and checking out library books. As a proud loud talker, she’s always being told to keep it down. Her bookish dream is to connect with the readers who give her stories just the right volume.
