Sarah Hagger-Holt

Sarah Hagger-Holt writes children’s books which centre LGBTQ+ families – both ‘Nothing Ever Happens Here’ (2020) and ‘Proud of Me’ (2021) were nominated for the Carnegie Medal, and ‘Proud of Me’ is shortlisted for the Little Rebels’ Children Book Award, which celebrates radical fiction for children.

She regularly runs workshops in schools to get young people excited about reading, expressing themselves and creating stories.

Sarah is also the co-author of ‘Pride and Joy: A guide for lesbian, gay, bi and trans parents’ (2017) and ‘Living It Out: A survival guide for lesbian, gay and bi Christians, their friends, families and churches’ (2010). Each non-fiction book is based on interviews with dozens of people sharing their lived experience.
