Hello.
Sarah Lynn Knowles is a Massachusetts-based writer and editor. I was honored to workshop fiction in Tin House’s 2024 Winter Workshop and One Story’s 2023 Summer Conference, and my short stories have been featured in publications such as Slice Magazine, Joyland Magazine, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, Perigee Publication for the Arts, and Sundog Lit.I founded & edited Storychord – a long-running, biweekly literary journal that featured one short story alongside visual art + a one-song soundtrack, each by a different emerging artist. From 2010-2017, we published 150 multimedia issues and hosted multiple SXSW and CMJ live music events.I collect quotes and enjoy dabbling across creative arts like jewelry making, ceramic pottery, block printing, and photography. I also enjoy regular membership in Chelsea Hodson's Morning Writing Club.
