About Sara

sara bates

Sara lives in Pennsylvania with two small kids, two small cats, two small crabs and one medium husband. Once a lawyer who spent her days navigating the Internal Revenue Code, Sara now spends her days writing stories of kids and animals (and, sometimes, vegetables!) navigating the modern world.

Her writing has been featured in The Kindred Voice, a women’s inspirational magazine, the anthology My Caesarean: Twenty-One Mothers on the C-Section Experience and After published by The Experiment, and hundreds of Gmail inboxes. Sara’s current projects include a modern-mutiny-middle grade set at the seashore, a chapbook series about a girl who talks too much, and a bunch of picture books.

Sara loves early bedtimes, heavy hang cleans, and dusty National Park trails. A lifelong loud talker, she’s often told to keep it down—just never at her local library, where she serves on the Board of Trustees.
