Sarah Allen
Sarah Allen has taught creative writing to a range of students from high school age to adults. She was born and raised in Utah, got an MFA in fiction from Brigham Young University, and is currently pursuing an MFA in poetry from the University of South Florida in Tampa. Her first book, WHAT STARS ARE MADE OF, was an ALA Notable Book of 2020 and her second, BREATHING UNDERWATER, is a Jr. Library Guild Selection for 2021. Kirkus Reviews called it “a heartfelt, multifaceted treasure hunt.” She spends her non-writing time watching David Attenborough documentaries and singing show-tunes too loudly.
