About Sarah

Sarah Smith, creator of The Fiction Writer’s Guide, is an internationally bestselling novelist, published in 15 languages. Her books have won the NY Times Notable Book of the Year (twice), the Agatha for best YA mystery, and other awards, and one of her books has sold over a quarter of a million copies. Check her out at sarahsmith.com

In her day life, she’s been involved in AI since forever. Most recently she has been a technical writer and video producer for a Fortune 500 company.

When almost her entire group was “replaced” by AI (and that’s worked out sooo well for them), she decided fiction writers needed audiobooks and somebody should write this book.

 

So she did.

Doing cool stuff is the best revenge.
