Sara Jin Li is an award-winning (and losing) multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. Her work spans various mediums, from stage to screen to print, and has been featured in The Cut, Elle, Paper Magazine, NPR, and other leading outlets. She is a director, producer, actor, and writer. And Virgo, if that wasn’t obvious.
In 2017, Sara won a Webby Award for her advocacy for sexual assault survivors. Her Substack was named one of Rushh Magazine’s “Coolest Substacks to Subscribe To.”
In 2024, Sara directed the original production of Medea: The Musical while earning her Master’s at Harvard Divinity School. Her debut book, All Things Friendship (Penguin Random House), is available wherever books are sold. Her work, both commercial and narrative, have been selected for festivals such as Cannes Lion, HollyShorts, and more.
Currently, she is working on her sophomore book while continuing to direct, write, and act. She is also adapting her cult expose Bad Actor, which was named New York Magazine’s "One Great Headline" and an Apple News Editors’ Choice Read.
You can reach Sara via email or find her on Instagram and Substack. She is represented by Shaun Gordon at Weintraub Tobin for all legal matters.
