About Me
- Name: Sarah Beth Durst
- Location: New York, United States
I'm a writer of fantasy novels for teens, including DRINK SLAY LOVE, ENCHANTED IVY, ICE, INTO THE WILD, and OUT OF THE WILD. My next book, VESSEL, is about a girl who lives in a harsh desert land and is destined to sacrifice herself so her clan's goddess can inhabit her body... but her goddess never comes. It comes out in September 2012 from Simon & Schuster. I'm very, very, very excited about this.

"INTO THE WILD is VERY cool, with a unique look at the great fairytale characters. I couldn't put it down until I knew how this brave, extraordinary girl could face such powerful magic!" -- Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author of Terrier (Beka Cooper) and The Will of the Empress
"Sarah Beth Durst's INTO THE WILD is fabulous in the oldest, truest, and best sense of the word, harking back to fables, wonder, and magic unleashed. It's bold, sassy, and utterly engaging. I can't wait to see what she does next!" -- Bruce Coville, author of The Unicorn Chronicles and Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher
"INTO THE WILD's fairy-tale characters are fascinating, and Julie is everything one could want in a heroine -- she's intelligent, practical, determined and brave; at once more ordinary and more extraordinary than she herself thinks she is. I'll be keeping an eye out for more work from Sarah Beth Durst." -- Patricia C. Wrede, author of The Enchanted Forest Chronicles

"An enchanting romp full of adventure, humor and cleverness!" --
Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Spiderwick Chronicles and Tithe
"An amazing, wild ride with very high stakes, and the fate of humans and fairytale people alike on the shoulders of one determined girl.
This is even better than the first book!" --
Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author of Terrier (Beka Cooper) and The Will of the Empress
"This is one of those rare occasions when the sequel is as good as the first book, if not better. Though, in my estimation, they make two
halves of one story, and what a wonderfully entertaining story it is." -- Charles de Lint, author of
The Blue Girl and Widdershins
"Head-spinning fun! Any book that mixes fire breathing dragons and Elvis Presley is a rare treat." --
Michael Buckley, New York Times bestselling author of The Sisters Grimm series

No. Because it's the other end of the COUNTRY! *sigh*
Unfortunately, New York is still too much of a commute. :(
i wish i could see you. but i can't... but once again, if you ever happen to be in northern California ( like, say, San Fransisco) i will be there With cookies and cousins in tow!!
I was there. Sarah was wonderful. As were Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, and Sarah. Although Sarah and Sarah almost had a fight. Sarah started it (when she started telling stories about Sarah). That would all make so much more sense if I included last names, but it's so much more fun to leave it at that.
