Student Writes Published Novel

Sarah Jones is not a typical English major.  She’s more than just a student.  She is a published writer.  Jones’ author name is “Sarah Galyean Jones.”  Her book, Broken Haven is on pre-order now, but will officially go on sale on Amazon.com Friday, March 25th.

Broken Haven  is a science fiction novel that Jones started writing in high school.  It was first written as a short script, but Jones said she saw more of a future for her story and decided to turn it into a book.

Once it was time to look for a publisher, Jones found it was harder than she thought to publish her book and faced some struggles along the way, but stayed positive.

“You’re going to get a lot of rejection,” Jones said. “And you have to be the number one champion of your own work and just continue to submit and hope for the best and don’t stop until you see somebody else like it and want to read it and want to put it out there.”

Broken Haven isn’t the only book Jones wrote.  She’s currently looking to sell her second novel on Amazon.com in the near future.
