They all said fantasy is not real writing, and Sarah should write something more serious, more worthy of her time, as writing fantasy is unrealistic. And the palace where she went to meet the prince? That was the place where she went to kill him.īefore getting her books published, Sarah Maas faced quite a lot of obstacles, mostly in terms of criticism from friends, fans, family members, teachers, and everyone else who had an idea or input. The premise of the book follows the idea that Cinderella is not the usual servant, but she is an assassin. The story, which was based on Cinderella (hence considered fan fiction), was eventually removed from that site when Sarah decided to publish it as a novel. After writing several chapters of the book, she posted them to a fan fiction website, where her story became one of the best received by the readers. The book would be titled Throne of Glass. She started writing her first novel, which would become her debut novel several years later, back at the age of 16. Both have pushed her to dream big and work hard for achieving those dreams.Īt around the age of 11-12, when she started reading fantasy stories, Sarah knew that this is what she wanted to do when she grew up: writing fantasy novels as well. Her mom inspired her to read and her grandmother – a Holocaust survivor – had her own stories to tell as well.

As a child, Sarah grew up with a love for reading fantasy novels and a love for telling stories. She attended Hamilton College in Clinton, Oneida County, New York, from which she graduated in 2008 with a major in creative writing and a minor in religious studies, with a Magna Cum Laude.
