Meet Sara Hildreth

BINGLEY THE LITERARY LABRADOODLE

English Literature from Georgetown University and spent six years teaching English at an all-girls high school. As a teacher and scholar, Sara appreciates the legacy of classic literature and loves dense literary fiction that gives off that readerly feel. But as a recovering book snob, she also loves the occasional dishy thriller and historical romance. FictionMatters currently has over 100,000 followers on Instagram, and Sara has become a trusted recommendation source for readers around the world.

While FictionMatters is mostly a book blog, Sara also writes about the literary lifestyle. From the habits and hacks of a lifelong learner to the rituals that lead to feeling as confident as your favorite literary heroine, Sara loves to share the practices, skills, and products that help her lead her best literary life. Alongside bountiful book content, you'll find posts about Sara's latest podcast binges, sweaters obsessions, cozy rituals, and favorite recipes.

Sara owns more books than she can ever hope to read and if she invites you over for a glass of wine, you'll also undoubtedly leave with a book (or three). She's currently living the literary lifestyle in Denver, CO with her husband and their puppy, Bingley.
