Sarah McEvoy was born in Kendal, and wanted to be an astronaut when they grew up until they realised that would mean being more sporty than they were at all interested in being. They now live in Yorkshire with an elderly cat, a large number of books and a collection of hand-made bow ties. They have a varied range of interests including website building, baroque music, translation and needlecrafts. They also love the webcomic Girl Genius, and write fanfic about that when not writing their own original work.

Sarah identifies as non-gendered, and doesn't mind a great deal about pronouns, but ideally prefers neutral ones.
