Three Sarahs
Sarah Parkin began her freelance career in 1999 writing about business and community issues for The Arizona Republic. A story for the Republic led her into an opportunity to participate in the Phoenix Citizen’s Police Academy, and later to a seat on the board for alumni involved in the program. In 2001, she began writing biographies for Thomson Gale publications. She was tapped to take part in the Phoenix FBI Citizen Academy in January of 2002. In 2005, the FBI invited her to tour the FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. National Novel Writer’s Month captured her attention in 2005 and 2006. When View Magazine started up in 2007, she jumped at the chance to write for them, and quickly became a regular contributing writer for the publication. In 2009, she began writing a Farmer’s Market column several times each week for Examiner.com, covering the food producers, the markets, and the chefs and restaurants connected to them. This presented a great opportunity to write about food, as well as a chance to polish her skills in publishing content and photographs online. She also began writing for several of the AAA print publications, including Highroads and Southern Traveler. Both publications featured her articles as the cover story in September 2009. Sarah constantly investigates new areas for her writing projects. She loves to research and present all sides of an issue. Writing about food, farm issues, and travel are a passion.
