About The Expert
Sarah Zachary was born in 1988, the only daughter of Stephen and Teresa Zachary. Although she always loved being read to as a child and took frequent library trips, she first discovered her love of writing in early high school, when she was assigned to write a paragraph of a fictional story. Sarah went on to write the first fifty pages of a play novel. When her friends showed enjoyment in her writing, Sarah went on to publish her first pieces of work online and gained followers who helped shape and critique her craft. She continued to write short stories and began to attempt to get her work published.

While attending college at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, she was published for the first time in a collection of essays, and counted among the top five percent of writers in the nation. After graduating college with a BA in English, she began to widen her professional portfolio. Pressing on, she has been published in several more genres and seeks to work in the field of creative design or concept design, especially in the spectrum of video game design. Her work is often in the fields of romance and fantasy, and her first young adult fantasy novel is currently in progress. She also has a professional Facebook page for followers under the name Sarah Joyce Zachary.
