About

Sarah Hina writes poetry and fiction from her home in Athens Ohio, where she lives with her husband and two children. Her debut novel, Plum Blossoms in Paris, was hailed by Booklist as “a terrific literary love letter to the City of Light.” Her second novel, Sarabande, won an honorable mention in the North Street Book Prize.

A published poet, Sarah is privileged to have won first prize in the Blue Mountain Arts poetry contest, and to have been long-listed for the erbacce prize. Her short fiction has been published in The Lascaux Review and Kentucky Review.

For fun, Sarah loves nothing more than taking photographs of the southeastern Ohio landscapes and wildlife that are a daily inspiration to her life and work. Recently, she made the leap into non-fiction with Walt Disney World Step-by-Step 2019 and 2020: A Common-Sense Planning Guide, published by Theme Park Press. While this in no way makes her a Disney adult, she admits to knowing more than she ought about monorails.

Sarah is presently querying two novels, which makes her extremely attentive to her inbox. You can reach her at sarah.hina AT gmail.com.
