History
[edit]Sara King was born in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 1982. She has remained an Alaskan ever since, graduating from Chugiak High School in 2001 and beginning her full-time writing career shortly thereafter. She is an outdoors enthusiast.[2] Her works have appeared in short-story magazines, including Apex Science Fiction and Horror, BBT Magazine, and Aberrant Dreams.
In March 2007, King was chosen from a pool of 50 candidates to edit Aberrant Dreams, where she works as a contributing editor.[3]
In August 2007, a 7500-word short piece "The Moldy Dead," a short story spinoff of The Legend of ZERO series, became King's first published short work in Apex Science Fiction and Horror Digest,[4] where it received a positive review from the reviewer.[5]
In March 2008, King joined the Codex Writers Group, an online gathering of professional speculative fiction writers, editors, and agents. Here, she workshopped her short fantasy works "The Sheet-Charmer of Broketoe" and "The Auldhund," which won semi-finalist in the First Quarter 2008 Writers of the Future Contest.[6]
In July 2008, King graduated from the 6-week Odyssey Writing Workshop in New Hampshire.
