With synesthesia, I write. Like a dewdrop fairy searching for the transcendental, I'm always flying in stories. I also have the tendency to be a bit of a detective because I love solving mysteries to the tune of Fleetwood Mac.

Sarah Henry (she/her) is a journalism student who began writing religiously a few years ago and hasn’t stopped since. Her work has appeared in P’an Ku Literary and Arts Magazine, Stuck in Notes, and Horse Egg Magazine. She is an avid daydreamer and aspiring two-time Grammy award-winning guitarist (but for now she only knows a few chords). She lives in her home state of Florida with her cat. 

Sarah is an architecture student, who relieves her stress through baking bread, looking at clothes and of course, writing. She is a born-again writer, as she refound her love for it through the copious music that she listens to, as well as all the essays and pieces that she’s stumbled upon on the internet. They hold so much emotion within them that she got inspired to try to write more and more, in hopes of making other people feel the same towards her writing.

 

Her work can be found in a local zine in Malaysia called Saya Magazine, Juiced! Zine as well as some that she would post on her instagram (@ohtenderthoughts) from time to time.
