More quotes by Sara Sheridan
Grabbing readers by the imagination is a writer's job.
Sara Sheridan
The new contract between writers and readers is one I'm prepared to sign up to. I've met some fascinating people at events and online. Down with the isolation of writers I say! And long live Twitter.

Sara Sheridan
Often we don't notice the stringent rules to which our culture subjects us.
Sara Sheridan
I always thought that bagels and lox was my soul food, but it turns out it's sushi.
Sara Sheridan
Today women have the rights and equality our Victorian sisters could only dream of, and with those privileges comes the responsibility of standing up and being counted.
Sara Sheridan
My father could talk about the Romany way of life and its culture. He could talk about freedom and the Scottish spirit. But that was all he could talk about. I was desperate for someone to talk to but there was just nobody there.
Sara Sheridan
History at its best is a gritty, dirty business.
