📖 About Ever After in Progress with Sara Ella

Hello, readers and writers! I’m Sara Ella, author of 7 (and counting) YA fantasy and fairy tale novels bursting with themes drawn from a love for light and hope. Aside from my time spent dreaming of far-off (or not-so-far-off) places, I’m also a reader, a chronic movie and TV show quoter, a homeschool mom of three, and an avid Disney fan. My tagline has remained “happily ever after is never far away”—thus the inspiration for this space.

I’ve been longing for a place to be more creative and personal. To share my wins and wisdom I’ve gained, but also my failures and pitfalls along the road of navigating publishing and everything that comes along with it. Each month, I send out my newsletter, and that’s continued to be my favorite method of communication. A place outside of the social media scroll where I can share my “ever after in progress” with you.

I hope you’ll stick around and subscribe. As I continue to add to this space, I’ll not only be sharing my regular newsletter-type content (including upcoming event news, book updates, and more), but I’ll also be posting materials from writing workshops and classes I’ve taught over the years. Additionally, I’ll share examples from my own publication journey (such as rejections, critiques, and edits from various stages of my novels).
