This space is mine—and now, it’s yours too.

Ink. Teeth. Firelight. Welcome home. Stay a while. I’d love to hear your stories too.

I’ve been working on ways to better connect with you. It’s easy to rattle off stats about myself: born and raised in Queens, NY. INTJ. Enneagram 1 wing 9. AUDHD. A ginger. Gender fluid. Pansexual. There are more keywords and metadata that could be tagged onto “Sloane Sabel.” But what does that really tell you?

This space will be a haven for creative, reflective, and raw discourse. I write what I know, after all—and what I know best is my own life. So, in a rare instance of being linear, let’s start at the top.

Who is Sloane Sabel?
Sloane Sabel is a pen name. 

Sloane was an easy choice: genderless, strong. It traces back to Celtic roots meaning warrior, among other things. Sabel is a respelling of Sable, referring to the luxurious dark fur or the color black—symbols of elegance and mystery. Together, they’re meant to blend strength with sophistication.

For me, this name is a mask from which I can share the most intimate, fractured pieces of myself. Sloane is the place where I can speak without hesitation or fear, so I can write for the haunted-hearted—for anyone who’s ever kissed a ghost and hoped it bit back. My stories are for broken people finding firelight, with monsters and the horror of living sitting at their side. We don’t shy away from our shadow parts—and we don’t rush to heal them either. We embrace them.

What I'll be sharing:

You’ll get the behind-the-scenes content authors love to share: inspiration for scenes, plots, characters, “deleted” moments, and more. We’ll dabble in the occult and witchiness. Cats, of course. And I’ll also be sharing some raw, unadulterated moments of grief, healing, obsession, and pain. The plan is to veer from the polished and spotlight the heart of the matter. I’ll include trigger warnings before each post—just as I do with my books.

I hope you find something here that snarls when you touch it. That means it’s alive.
