The Business of Creativity with Ben Mazzotta
Sara has been writing her whole life. She finished her first book at 12, and now has 11 completed books (with 3 published so far). She studied computer science and physics, but after dealing with some health problems, she realized she wanted to pursue writing full-time. She also loves reading webtoons, so she decided to start making them as a way to find an audience for her stories. She began a few years ago without knowing how to draw, and it’s been a pretty wild journey learning along the way.
