I'm Sarah Welch—editor, writing coach, children's book author, and mom.
I built Inkdrop Lit because I believe creativity isn't a luxury — it's part of your wellbeing. And I know firsthand how hard it is to protect it when life is full.
Over more than a decade as an editor and coach, I've worked with independent authors and publishers to turn first drafts into books people actually finish. My approach is collaborative, unhurried, and built around your real life — not an idealized version of it where you have unlimited time and no one needs anything from you.
I have an MA in book publishing from Emerson College and a BA in creative writing and playwriting from Northwestern University. I'm a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association and the Writers' League of Texas.
When I'm not working with clients, I'm writing picture books, breaking vintage china into mosaics, and trying to keep up with a toddler who has very strong opinions about everything.
With Inkdrop Lit, progress isn’t measured by word counts or hours logged. It’s measured by consistently showing up for your creativity and yourself.
I’m not just a red pen. I’m a true collaborator with every client.
I want to help you maintain (or rediscover) the fun of writing.
I want you to walk away more confident in your craft than ever before.
