The Evolution of a Writer with Sarah Noffke
What does it really take to grow from a first spark of an idea to a thriving career with more than 100 books published? USA Today bestselling author Sarah Noffke knows this journey inside and out. In this inspiring conversation, Sarah shares how she went from writing poetry on her lunch breaks to becoming a prolific author of YA and NA science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, and urban fantasy—while navigating both indie and traditional publishing.
You’ll hear about her early days of rejection, the leap into self-publishing, and how she built the discipline and confidence to write (and sell!) book after book without sacrificing quality. Sarah also opens up about the importance of studying the market, finding the right genre, and balancing passion projects with writing books that readers truly want.
Whether you’re just starting out or already years into your career, this talk will give you a clear picture of the three phases every writer cycles through—and how to embrace each one as part of your creative evolution.
