Sarah de Leeuw

Sarah de Leeuw (born 1973) is a Canadian writer who wrote Unmarked: Landscapes Along Highway 16.

A native of British Columbia, she grew up in Duncan, Queen Charlotte Islands and Terrace. She has worked as a tug boat driver, logging camp cook and journalist. She earned a degree from the University of Victoria where she worked on the student newspaper, The Martlet.^[1]

Her book Unmarked: Landscapes Along Highway 16 (2004) reflects her interest in geography and small communities in British Columbia. The book is a series of short essays, each linked to a specific place, evoking the local geography and community, and often linked to memories from de Leeuw's childhood.

She won the CBC Literary Award for creative non-fiction in 2009 with "Columbus Burning",^[2] and placed second the following year with "Quick-quick. Slow. Slow."^[3]
