The Confident Fiction Author
Hey there my fellow author, I’m Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer, an old soul kind of writer living my dream as a full-time author and authorprenuer.
But I didn’t start out living a confident creative lifestyle. I struggled with the fears and the mental and emotional barriers that so often plague writers at all stages of their author career.
But the truth is that, with the right knowledge, tools, and training, you can overcome those barriers. I’m here to teach you how I’ve developed a lifestyle that’s allowed me to publish 19 books (and counting).
Each week as you tune into the Confident Fiction Author podcast, you’ll get clarity on the steps you need to take to advance your writing career. Whether it’s developing your ideal writing routine, tackling new skills like dictating your fiction, or overcoming the obstacles life throws your way, this podcast will help you live a more confident, creative lifestyle.

The Confident Fiction Author
#37: Too young? Too old? What is the ideal age to become a fiction author?
Is there such a thing as the ideal age to become a fiction author?
You might think it’s in your twenties or thirties when energy is high and dreams are fresh. Or maybe after retirement, when you finally have time to chase that creative passion.
In this week’s episode of The Confident Fiction Author Podcast, I share a story that breaks the mold—a 91-year-old woman who wrote her very first piece of fiction so she could join my anthology. Her sister joined in, too. She was 89.
I also talk about my own journey, starting at age five, and how age has shaped my storytelling through the years.
Whether you’re just starting or have been writing for decades, this episode is for you. Because what really matters isn’t your age. It’s your courage to create.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late—or too early—to become a fiction author, this episode might just be the encouragement you need.
