About the Author Although Sarah never thought of herself as creative and never intended to be a writer, as an academic she spent her life immersed in literature and film. Her scholarship centered on genre, dialogue, and narration, so she ate plots for breakfast, time schemas for lunch, point of view for dinner, and spectacle for dessert. Upon obtaining a degree in English at Dartmouth, she tried film production in NYC for two years. Afterward, she earned a Ph.D. from an interdisciplinary program at Stanford University, joining the Film Department of Vassar College in 1988, specializing in American film history. In 2009 she was awarded the William R. Kenan Jr. Endowed Chair. In 2012, while teaching a senior seminar on American Women Directors, she realized that neither the books nor films of Lord of the Rings could pass the Bechdel Test. That summer, she grabbed her laptop and started imagining a world that awaited the return of the queen. She didn’t know then that this leap into creative writing would lead her to segue out of teaching and spark a new career. Her epic fantasy quartet, The Nine Realms, was published by TOR on a rapid publications schedule. All four books, A Queen in Hiding, The Queen of Raiders, A Broken Queen, and The Cerulean Queen, came out monthly, January through April 2020. Now she's off wandering in other genres. After years on the East Coast, she moved with her husband to the Denver area, where she can often be found walking her dog or weeding her garden. https://sarahkozloff.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2020-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1524061732836-47NVG6WEZDD3U4254D5N/JLL_4719.jpg Scholarship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519269886023-VDM9MKZZQT607ZCZD31K/book+2.jpg Scholarship Lauded by Film Quarterly as one of the best BFI Handbooks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519270036091-K0G6H23FRYMZJXFSNPAN/book+9.jpg Scholarship chapter: "On Dangerous Ground: Ida Lupino and Nicholas Ray in Post World II Hollywood" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519273107139-ZHXM8BKJUSJQN9AM45I2/Screen+Shot+2018-02-14+at+2.34.30+PM.png Scholarship "Empathy and the Cinema of Engagment" in Projections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519269858944-ZGKKTXZ3ATTREV6WJOI3/book+1.jpg Scholarship Authored the chapters on Social Problem Films, Romantic Comedies, and Melodramas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519270010752-XD2EKM13H8Q7ID3L5DVZ/book+8.jpg Scholarship "Television and Narrative Theory" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519273133251-9NM48XMZR56T7A3MI8GB/Screen+Shot+2018-02-14+at+2.43.56+PM.png Scholarship "Wyler's Wars" in Film History. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519341151744-2M7XP6V1WK45T9ZBLJTS/hobbits.jpg Scholarship Chapter: "Lord of the Rings as Melodrama" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519269987686-IPAIAQ3VEBV9X6VESIUB/book+6.jpg Scholarship This monograph treats issues such as the connection of the author's biographical life and intent and the work of art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519269908666-KR02QED4R5BJDC1QWXQT/book+3.jpg Scholarship First ever theoretical and historical examination of cinematic voice-over narration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519269934299-SGP0FAUT94NOOU3UBBRL/book+4.jpg Scholarship The Films of Preston Sturges Co-editor and author of two chapters, "To Write and Not Direct" and "O Preston, Where Art Thou?" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519269960003-490LJ6FYYG51ZVADVFAD/book+5.jpg Scholarship Pathbreaking, prize winning, study of the role of dialogue in American film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8453c2010027c6c0519a60/1519341246299-VR7L4YKHZDJ6VIZKJK3Z/Screen+Shot+2018-02-22+at+10.21.42+AM.png Scholarship Further Remarks on Showing and Telling https://sarahkozloff.com/interviews-press daily 0.75 2021-06-29
