Sarah Knapp has always been a writer, & a dreamer. She turned her family’s big bust of a vacation into a guest column that ran in the Lansing State Journal when she was a teenager. She processed her college experiences by writing for the newspaper & literary journal. She wrote freelance articles on everything from transmissions to bachelor parties after grad school. When she decided to trade in a college teaching career for long hours back in junior high, she started a blog. And then she wrote her way into UCLA.
Her writing took her to the Pivot & Lifetime television networks. At Pivot she developed a half-hour comedy pilot. At Lifetime, she had a short film made as part of a pilot presentation.
Her writing also led her to create an award-winning web series & direct her first short film in 2022. Her writing is more than just words on the page. Her writing is life being lived out loud.
