Hi! My novel THE HITCH is available for pre-order now and will be published January 13, 2026.

I am also the author of the novel TREASURE ISLAND!!! and the short story collection SHORT DARK ORACLES.

If you haven't read Robert Louis Stevenson's TREASURE ISLAND, I recommend the Penguin's Mass Market paperback which includes my Afterword.

Reading Like a Writer

I talked about Toni Morrison's novel SULA on Naomi Washer's podcast Reading Around the Margins.

This is a podcast where the guest screenshots some pages of a favorite book and then Naomi asks you, "Why did you write that?" I told everything—more than I ever planned to!

Quotes by Sara Levine  (?)

“The essay is a modest genre. It doesn't mean to change the world. Instead it says: let me tell you what happened to me.”
Sara Levine, Touchstone Anthology of Contemporary Creative Nonfiction: Work from 1970 to the Present
tags: essays

“...my thoughts don't really bump along this way, but they do bump somehow, and it's more honest--more pedagogically useful, more truthful--to arrange them in a loose, disconnected, provisional way than to deliver only the conclusions.”
Sara Levine, Touchstone Anthology of Contemporary Creative Nonfiction: Work from 1970 to the Present

“If life were a sea adventure, I knew: I wouldn't be sailor, pirate, or cabin boy but more likely a barnacle clinging to the side of the boat.”
Sara Levine, Treasure Island!!!
tags: humor, life

“If life were a sea adventure, I knew: I wouldn't be sailor, pirate, or cabin boy but more likely a barnacle clinging to the side of the boat.”
Sara Levine, Treasure Island!!!
tags: humor, life

“A painful truth I’d learn later: you may be ready to grow, but you can’t fertilize friends and grow them with you.”
Sara Levine, Treasure Island!!!

“You do know what I mean about Mom. It's like she radios into headquarters for Dad's feelings when she senses hers need backup.”
Sara Levine

“I knew very well what Lars meant when he praised me, and held me, and indicated through a caress that he liked me just the way I was; I knew, better than he knew himself, that he wanted to ensure he never be confronted with what, in his own personality, might need pruning or pushing or prodding, that behind every show of support he gave, for me here, for me now, there lurked a terrified refusal to acknowledge his own potential to grow.”
Sara Levine, Treasure Island!!!

“One makes discoveries about oneself but more often one makes up discoveries.”
Sara Levine, Touchstone Anthology of Contemporary Creative Nonfiction: Work from 1970 to the Present
