Sarah Vacchiano is an entertainment lawyer based in Los Angeles.

A graduate of Duke Law School, she began her legal career as a litigator representing Molly Bloom―the subject of the Oscar-nominated biopic MOLLY’S GAME, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin―and other high-profile clients in the media and entertainment space. After several years working in independent film, she now runs business affairs for United Artists, the iconic studio being relaunched by Scott Stuber.

Sarah has served as an adjunct professor of entertainment law at Duke and is a frequent guest lecturer for NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and Stern School of Business. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband Matt, their three-year-old son Gus, and pup Josephine (JoJo).

When she’s not thinking about movie deals or writing books about messy adulting, she’s a die-hard francophile and rewatches Nora Ephron films whenever she’s sad or hungover.

Soft Launch is her first novel.
