Sarah Marine is a teen writer, student, and registered EMT. 'Lessons in Dry Drowning' is her debut novel, but her love for words doesn't stop there-she also writes poetry and contributes articles to her school newspaper. When she's not crafting stories or saving lives on her EMT shifts, you'll probably find her re-watching 'Gilmore Girls' (she's proudly Team Jess). Sarah is also passionate about mental health advocacy. She interns at Promly, a social media platform dedicated to helping teens make meaningful real-life connections and serves as Manager and social media Director for The Mental Notes Journal, a digital publication founded by her sister to empower teens to use writing as a healing tool. Living with OCD herself, Sarah finds writing an invaluable way to process her thoughts and distinguish her true self from anxiety. Currently a high school student in northern New Jersey, Sarah has called Seattle, London, and now the Garden State home. Someday, she dreams of living somewhere warm-but for now, she's content chasing stories, helping others, and making her mark one page at a time.
