"Dear Creators"
Join thousands of creators in receiving my free “Dear Creators” newsletter! Every other week, I tackle a different aspect of creativity and how it affects you, from writer’s block to making an income.
The Write Now Podcast
My signature weekly podcast gives you the encouragement, honest advice, and inspiration you need to balance work and life, pursue your passion, and write. (And it’s free!)
Daily Writing Planner
I designed this simple (and free!) printable PDF worksheet to help you prioritize your writing and keep you focused on your craft. It’s here for whenever you need it.
"Girl In Space"
Abandoned on a dying ship in the farthest reaches of known space, a young scientist fights for survival (and patience with the on-board A.I.). Who is she? No one knows. But a lot of dangerous entities really want to find out.
"Omen" Podcast
From Executive Producer Sarah Rhea Werner comes a fantasy audio drama that explores ancient ruins, sails the high seas, and questions whether friendship truly is magic—all while cracking pirate skulls and dabbling in high explosives!
10 Harmful Creative Myths Ebook
In this free 50-page ebook, I dive into the harmful lies we’ve been told about creativity — and take a look at the truths we need to move forward and create our best work.
Speaking
I’m an energetic, passionate, and empowering national speaker with relatable warmth, a unique perspective, and a sense of humor. In addition to a TEDx talk, I’ve spoken at New York Comic Con, Podcast Movement, YouTube headquarters, DC Podfest, and the Austin Film Festival, as well as many local and national leadership seminars, business and tech conferences, and college classrooms.
“Listening to Sarah is like a great session with your therapist who says all the right things to get you back in the chair and writing.”

No Rules, Just Write – WN 142
Are there any absolutely universal writing rules? In this week’s episode, we’re taking a look at not only writing advice but the context surrounding it.
Are We On The “Right” Path?
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I’m feeling a little lost and afraid at the prospect of not having a daily dose of The Artist’s Way to prompt, guide, coach, encourage, and heal me every day. I’m afraid to stop making steady forward progress, or worse, relapse, backtrack, or lose my progress altogether.
Discerning Your Path
What do you want out of 2022? I mean, aside from an end to the pandemic, world hunger, violence, etc. Those are all huge systemic and infrastructural problems that we as individual humans can’t control or solve on our own. What do you actually want, for yourself, that is within your control?
Regaining Your Magic with Tomi Adeyemi – WN 141
I’m starting 2022 with an interview with the AMAZING Tomi Adeyemi, author of Children of Blood & Bone and all-around incredible individual. We’re talking about getting un-stuck from writer’s block, what it means to be a successful author, the sensory/aesthetic experience of writing, and more. (And Midori loudly plays with a plastic bag in the background!) You won’t want to miss it.
Creative Darkness
My morning began, as all mornings do, in darkness. I won’t use this opportunity to describe the beautiful neon-rose-and-gold sunrise that slowly followed as I sipped my coffee, because that’s not the point right now. The point is that we’re starting a new year, and I think that things are dark — or at the very least, seem dark — for many of us.
Here’s To 2022…

The Real Questions
If you ask the wrong questions, you’ll get the wrong answers. What questions are you asking yourself as a writer and creator?
Getting Called Out
I like honesty. I like realness. I like truth. I’m drawn to it, I savor it, and I generally don’t have time for anything else. And yet sometimes, when the world boils down around me and it’s just me alone with my thoughts, I find myself neck-deep in… let’s call it crap.
What The Heck Is Up With The Write Now Podcast?
Remember that one time in January 2015 when I launched a new podcast? It was called Write Now with Sarah Werner and its mission was “to give writers the time, energy, and courage you needed to pursue your passion and write every day”. Since then, a lot has changed.
Why Are We Like This?
Do you ever find yourself sitting on the couch in some uncomfortable position, scrolling through Instagram or reading painful news articles or marathoning something on YouTube or Netflix, and you realize that you’ve had to use the bathroom for the last 45 minutes, but your legs are asleep, and if you get up from the couch, then the realization of all of the time you’ve just spent will come crashing back down upon you like a deadly tidal wave of guilt and self-loathing?
