Fika With Vicky Welcomes Guest Sarah Archer February 9th, 2023

Visiting from Concord, North Carolina, our guest this week is author Sarah Archer. There’s something earthy, twisty, and impactive about Sarah’s writing. I actually laughed out loud, while reading The Plus One, and yet her poem Salem has inspired the mantra, “Those bearing stones will not crush me,” for a certain type of day. Sarah Archer's debut novel, The Plus One, was published by Putnam in the US and received a starred review from Booklist. It has also been published in the UK, Germany, and Japan, and is currently in development for television. As a screenwriter, she has developed material for MTV Entertainment, Snapchat, and Comedy Central. She is a Black List Screenwriting Lab fellow who has placed in competitions including the Motion Picture Academy's Nicholl Fellowship and the Tracking Board's Launch Pad. Her short stories and poetry have been published in numerous literary magazines, and she has spoken and taught on writing to groups in several states and countries. She is also a co-host of the award-winning Charlotte Readers Podcast. No, I haven’t found the exact word to describe Sarah’s writing, but I am willing to keep reading her work until I do. I believe this is one of those, “It’s all about the journey,” things. And this journey, so far, has been remarkable.
