AUTHOR BIO

Sarah Nolen is a television writer and producer whose credits include The Americans, Foundation, Extrapolations, Moonhaven, Dune: Prophecy, Beacon 23, The Walking Dead: Dead City, and RoboCop, as well as the Tribeca-premiered Spotify podcast Red Frontier.

Pep is Sarah's first picture book, illustrated by Laura Supnik. The idea came to her one night while reading a bedtime story to her niece and nephew — she noticed how few stories featured aunts or dog moms and decided to write one herself. Inspired by her own rescue pup, Pep follows a real-life rescue dog with a big heart and an even bigger imagination through cross- country road trips and everyday adventures, learning — sometimes one brave step at a time — that family isn't only who raises you, but who shows up for you. Sarah lives in Los Angeles with the real-life Pep.
