@sarahspy is Sarah Lynn Knowles – a Massachusetts-based fiction writer, editor, and pop culture nerd who’s bounced between western Massachusetts, Philadelphia, New York City and back again.

My short fiction has been featured in Slice Magazine, Joyland Magazine, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, Perigee Publication for the Arts, and Sundog Lit. I was honored to workshop fiction in Tin House’s 2024 Winter Workshop and One Story’s 2023 Summer Conference.

I founded and edited Storychord.com – a multimedia journal featuring short fiction alongside visual art + a one-song soundtrack, each by a different emerging artist, for a collaborative storytelling experience. From 2010-2017, we published 150 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.

Here’s some of my very favorite fiction and, more broadly, 50+ of my favorite books.

Friend me on Goodreads, Pinterest, and Bluesky.
