Sarah Mayberry

Sarah Mayberry is an Australian romance novelist best known for her work with Harlequin's Superromance line, where she published numerous contemporary romance titles noted within the genre for grounded, character-driven storytelling and frank, emotionally realistic portrayals of adult relationships, sexuality and everyday domestic life rather than the more heightened melodrama common elsewhere in category romance. Her writing career has spanned traditional category romance as well as independently published contemporary titles. Mayberry is credited as a co-author on Temporary (2017), part of Sarina Bowen's wider catalogue of contemporary and sports-adjacent romance. The collaboration brought Mayberry's Superromance-honed focus on adult relationship dynamics into Bowen's broader body of interconnected contemporary romance, sitting alongside Bowen's other single-title collaborations with authors such as Elle Kennedy and Tanya Eby. Beyond her Harlequin output and the Bowen collaboration, Mayberry has continued to write contemporary romance for both traditional and independent markets, maintaining a reputation within the genre for realism and emotional groundedness over more conventional romance tropes and plotting.
