My Real Name

Hey, hi, hello! I’m Sarah(inwanderland) and I love supporting readers on their journey to discovering themselves. As a licensed clinical social worker and consummate bibliophile, one of the tools I love to use as a content creator is a bibliotherapy-esque style of approaching reading. Bibliotherapy is the use of books selected on the basis of content in a planned reading program designed to facilitate the recovery of individuals experiencing mental illnesses or emotional disturbances.

We are here for a good time, not a long time. Let’s break free of the shackles of heteronormative, patriarchal bullshit and get weird. As a content creator I discuss topics like exploring our queer identities and dismantling shame surrounding sex and embracing pleasure.

I firmly believe that representation matters, and that everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the stories they read. Join me as we use the transformative power of romance to embrace our identities and navigate the complexities of our emotional health together.
