WALK . NOTICE . WRITE
Sarah is a nature and place writer based along the Dee Estuary, Wirral. Her work explores nature, land, motherhood and belonging through tidal landscapes and everyday observations. She is represented by Anna Pallai at AMP Literary Agency.
She is completing an MA in Nature & Travel Writing at Bath Spa University and was recently awarded the BSU Master’s Writing Prize 2025/26. Previously, she gained a BA (Hons) Degree in History from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.
Her work has been featured on the cover of Bird Watching magazine and she contributes regularly to Country Walking magazine and has bylines in Cumbria Life and Waitrose Food magazines. She also writes a regular column in her bi-monthly local publication and is an ambassador for the conservation charity Curlew Action.
Through her Substack Strandlines, Sarah publishes tide-led essays, field notes and seasonal almanacs shaped by the lunar cycle and the tidal rhythms of the estuary.
Alongside her writing practice, Sarah offers in-person guided walks, talks and workshops in coastal and woodland settings, weaving together nature writing, deep noticing and place-based reflection.
She is a qualified Nature Connection Specialist, certified by the Forest Therapy Hub. She works with both adults and children, holds an Enhanced DBS and also works part-time in a local secondary school.

“Hi Sarah, I have just had a lady on who absolutely loves your articles in our magazine. She was wondering whether you have a book or blog because she is looking for a present for her parents who love nature.”
Socials ~ keeping you in the loop
Local to the Dee Estuary?
Please be advised that as Sarah is currently writing her debut book, in-person events will be temporarily postponed until further notice.
Sarah keeps a separate page for practical updates — guided walks, workshops and local nature events.
It’s there for anyone in Wirral, Cheshire, Merseyside, North Wales or nearby who wants information about in-person events and nature writing workshops without needing to join her wider community on Substack.
You’ll find it under Dee Estuary Events in the menu.
