Sarah Leberknight

Sarah Leberknight was the Fall 2025 Spoon Editorial Intern, and wrote for the National Writer Program from 2024 to 2026. She covered food on all fronts, hoping to write articles that make you hungry for a snack, and always enjoyed tackling divisive opinions on your favorite foods.

Sarah is now a graduate of Virginia Tech, where she juggled 3 majors—English Literature, Creative Writing, and Professional and Technical Writing. She wrote for VT’s Collegiate Times newspaper as an opinions columnist, spouting her thoughts on women’s soccer, college, and anything else she has a say on. Her work has also appeared in VT News and Trill Mag, where she interned for 6 months as an entertainment writer and a year as an editor. She also wrote book reviews for Sneak Peek Books.

When Sarah’s not writing professionally or for school, she’s still writing. Short stories, a novel trilogy, and novellas—she does it all. Except poems. And if she actually isn’t writing, she’s playing video games or watching other people play video games. She can’t get enough of the Legend of Zelda.
