"You want to (write dark themes) in a way that's sensitive and include the dark content but also consider the impact."

Sarah Hawley, USA Today Bestselling Author, knows how to occupy space in darker narratives and brutal high-stakes stories in addition to her lighter rom-com books. We focus on the first book of a high fantasy series, Servant of Earth, and its themes of escapism, rebellion, and fighting for a better world even when the odds are against you.
