Sarah Lawson is a writer and visual artist living in Nelson County. The child of two librarians, Lawson has always loved books of all kinds, but is especially excited to spend time with speculative fiction, poetry, environmental nonfiction, multi-genre and experimental lit, and pretty much anything written by queer or trans authors.
