“Sara Lynn is an exceptional storyteller, guide and resource to discover the history of our beautiful small town. Combining experience as a former educator with a true love of history, Sara Lynn’s passion and candor in sharing the stories of the community she was born and raised in will make you fall in love with our small town, too. I am continually impressed by the vast amount of knowledge she has on our area, covering a wide range of subjects and time periods. Perhaps even more impactful than the knowledge she imparts through fun, engaging and relatable stories, is the joyful energy she brings to every story and tale she shares. I have taken several tours of the Madison Historic District with Sara Lynn, as well as recommended her for other groups ranging from school-age children to senior bus tours, and have repeatedly received positive reviews of her work. I wholeheartedly recommend a tour with Sara Lynn to discover Madison and Morgan County’s fascinating history.”

—Jennifer Rosa Leon, Executive Director of the Madison Morgan County Conventions and Visitors Bureau

 “As we began to plan for what seemed a daunting task, Sara Lynn kept us on-task, balancing the needs of the tour as well as her role in maintaining the three house museums in Madison. I was constantly in awe of her work ethic and energy! Throughout the planning process, she led by example and with kindness, seeing every obstacle as an opportunity, and spread her positive spirit to everyone in the room. With ticket sales that broke records and continued accolades for a memorable tour, I can’t think of a better review than the well-deserved success she has achieved. ” 

—Stephanie Donelson, Morgan County Historical Society

“Our family stopped giving “store bought” gifts a few years ago. When I saw that I could commission Sara Lynn to write a poem for my daughter, that was my answer to the perfect wedding gift. It was a fun process, and Sara Lynn nailed it. I read it to them the night before the wedding; everyone loved it. Our daughter and now son-in-law were so touched. They are moving to a new home this week, and I know they are looking forward to displaying it. Also, after reading a tribute to my dog on social media, Sara Lynn wrote a poem for my beloved Tito. It was beautiful. I will always treasure it.”

“Sara Lynn was instrumental in helping me to complete a project I had been working on for years by sharing her gift of writing poetry.  I have never seen anyone who can take a few descriptive words and a little understanding of what you are trying to create and then write poetry that captures the exact imagery of those words. I recently completed writing a book for my two boys, and her poetry was a major part of several messages that were written. Thank you, Sara Lynn, for using your talents to bless others in ways that only your writing can bless.”

—- Jean Triplett, retired educator, author, and artist in GA

“Sara Lynn is an accomplished educator and author who loves helping others find their voice through writing. From the first day that I walked into her 8th grades English class, I was inspired and encouraged to write. No matter what their writing abilities, she made writing fun and engaging for ALL her students.  Now as an English teacher myself, I have been immensely thankful for all the knowledge, tips and tricks that she shared with me over the years for teaching writing in my own classroom.  Her knowledge of writing covers all content areas.  When I taught Earth Science, she helped me to find ways to embed writing into my curriculum and showed me how to connect the various content areas together through writing. I am looking forward to attending her workshops and learning more tips for teaching my own students.”

—Ashley Stancill, Teacher in Putnam County, GA

“Picnics, Porches, and Prayers is a sweet little book which came from a vision of prayer with friends and family by intentionally coming together to a table on the porch or a picnic table to pray for others. Sometimes the simplest messages are the most powerful. Thank you, Sara Lynn, for sharing your vision in this book. I love it.”

“When one has a passion for something,  one works hard at it, and strives to be an expert.  As long as I have known Sara Lynn, her passion has been to share the art of writing she has mastered with teachers and students.  If you are looking for someone to help your child, or you just want to master your own writing skills, Sara Lynn can provide that support in a way that makes writing fun and meaningful.”

— Jean Triplett, Retired Assistant Superintendent, Morgan County Charter Schools, GA

“Perhaps Sara Lynn’s most effective qualities are that she approaches writing in a balanced manner and that she is truly concerned about the success of all learners.
I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to boost the writing performance of their students.”

— Dr. Ralph M. Bennett, Jr.
Retired Superintendent of Morgan County Schools in Georgia

 ” Mrs. Holbert was an outstanding administrator with Social Circle City Schools.  She demonstrated a unique ability to motivate both teachers and students in developing excellent writing skills.  Her efforts were the primary reason our writing skills and writing test scores improved during her tenure.”
