About this author

edit data

Sara Sandberg is a writer and artist. She has published short stories, fanzines, and a novella. She is currently at work on a novel about a city.
A tactile love of books was fostered from a young age by the Modesto Public Library. Punk Rock taught her to document the wild happenings of life. Fanzines soon followed: Space Craft Convention, Secret, The American Girl, Forgotten Letters. In 2001, an epiphany with a stranger propelled the creation of Double Ears, a free one page zine. Fairlane, Sandberg's first novel, was released in 2002.
Sara Sandberg lives in an old punk club in San Francisco with her husband.
