Hi, I'm Sarah, an asexual author from the U.K.! I've been writing since I was 6, and I started pursuing publication in 2023.

I've published two books...
The Great European Escape: a travelogue/memoir/guide to Europe on my own website. It's free to download! (sarahrnew.wordpress.com/travel-memoir/)
Travel Memoir
In 2023 I realised my mobility was changing, and not for the better. I did the only logical thing. I took three months off of work and spent that time travelling around Europe, documenting my exper…

I have too many ideas and am way too overstimulated to write them all.

What are your feelings on novellas? Do you not see the point of them, read them occasionally, or wish they were more popular?

It's a month until Christmas and I have a present for the horror fans!

Amissis Liberis is a Victorian-era horror novella revolving around two families, and a year that will change everything. Fantastic for fans of Gothic horror and Mike Flanagan.

You know where to look for it.

Working on the dual novella project, INTERMISSION is a sort of cross between Janice Hallett's The Appeal and Paul Tremblay's A Head Full of Ghosts.

THE GOOD SHIP VERDEN is much more Misery x Midsommar though.

Who said it was a good idea to write two novellas at the same time?

Between a friend of mine making it in @andrewcull.bsky.social Encounters with Cryptids anthology and @aldbera.bsky.social new story in Retail Hell 2, it sure is a good morning for horror. If you want some Intruder short story with your coffee here's a link: midlvlmag.com/sarah-r-new-...

Really excited about this new dual novella project. Already wondering if I can do another one in the future.

VERY excited to start working on The Good Ship Verden, and not just as a distraction from working on Intermission Draft 2!

One thing I didn't expect from being a chronically ill horror author would be how different symptoms inspire me. Like, for instance, I didn't expect to be so ultimately confident that I could fight most people and win.
