Sarah Manavis is an American writer and critic living in the UK.

I write about culture, technology and society mostly at The Observer, where I became a staff writer in May 2025. Until 2022, I was senior writer at the New Statesman, where I wrote a weekly column until April 2025. My work has featured in other places like The Guardian, GQ, The Economist, Kinfolk, Prospect and The i Paper.

If you would like to commission me or work together in some other capacity – such as for TV, radio or speaking – see my email below.
