Sarah Pauling spent several years sending other people to distant places for a living as a study abroad advisor in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She’s now in Seattle, graciously sharing her home with two cats and a husband. She was shortlisted for the James White Award for new writers and is a graduate of the Viable Paradise workshop. In her spare time, she wrangles the slush pile for Diabolical Plots and Small Wonders.

Further hobbies include tabletop gaming, following obscure rabbit holes of internet history, and reading comics in order to complain about them.

Find her work in places like Strange Horizons, Clarkesworld, and Escape Pod.
