Sarah Matthews

Sarah has been writing children’s stories since she was old enough to hold a pen. Her love for words and their meanings earned her two degrees: a joint honours degree in Language & Linguistics and Philosophy and a masters of letters with distinction in the Philosophy of Language.

Shelving her doctorate and career in academic writing, she partnered with Rodney Matthews in his illustrative and conceptual design business, Rodney Matthews Studios. Initially his agent and studio manager, Sarah’s own creative talents quickly shone through. She edited and redesigned the 2020 publication of Rodney’s children’s book Yendor – the Journey of a Junior Adventurer, and then in 2021 co-directed the short film adaptation. Among the many awards the animation received, was Best Voice Over at the Vegas Movie Awards, for Sarah’s narration of the tale, which she delivered in her native Scottish accent. Delighted to be back writing again, Sarah likes to pen her thoughts in the greenhouse.
