    We chat with Amazon bestselling author Sarah R Painter about writing, life and social dynamics in her book! Get inspired for your worldbuilding and writing!

    Our guest today is the amazing author Sarah Painter. Before she began writing novels, Sarah Painter worked as a freelance magazine journalist, blogger and editor, and somehow managed to raise some kids on top of all that!

    Her debut novel, The Language of Spells, became a Kindle bestseller and was followed by The Secrets of Ghosts, The Garden of Magic and In The Light of What We See.

    Sarah also has an incredible podcast about writing called The Worried Writer - which is where I first came in contact with her. You can check out the full blog at www.worriedwriter.com, or find the podcast “The Worried Writer” on iTunes.
