Sarah Walton is an Anglo-Irish author born in 70s London. Founder of Soul Writing coaching, Sarah developed an approach to writing from the intuition while recovering from brain injury in 2004, which she now teaches internationally. She’s also taught BA and MA in Creative Writing, and advises on digital identity strategy.
Sarah's debut novel, RUFIUS was long-listed for the Polari First Book Prize and won her a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Hull’s Philip Larkin Centre for Poetry and Creative Writing.
Her second novel, SOPHIA'S TALE was written using her Soul Writing technique, and supported her healing from brain damages. She believes that everyone has a unique story within them, a story their soul yearns to tell. She sees her job as facilitating writers get beyond their blocks, and write what wants to be written.
Her latest novel, THE SILK PAVILION is a dark love story with a Spanish Civil War vein that explores the link between personal and national trauma and has been hailed ‘a brave and important book’ by Grace Nichols, Queen’s gold medallist; Mick Jackson compared it to Bowles’ The Sheltering Sky.
