1 Author Jess Hill’s Inner Power Sarah Price , 2020 single work column
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 2-8 May 2020;

'Jess Hill’s incisive examination of domestic violence saw the journalist win the coveted Stella Prize last month. But the four-year project also took an immense personal toll. “All that advice about self-care … I didn’t do any of it. I almost pointedly didn’t do it. I thought: ‘You need to feel, even just one iota of the pain and suffering the people you are talking to are feeling.’ If I was feeling really relaxed and detached from it, I wouldn’t be able to write about it in the way I wanted to … I sort of had to inhabit it.”' (Introduction)

1 Artist Guy Warren Sarah Price , 2019 single work
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 3-9 August 2019;

'At the end of a long driveway off a busy road in Sydney’s north, you reach his studio first. It’s in the garage: brown brick, ’70s style, flat-roofed carport off the front. At the door is an arrow pointing to his house. The house is set behind, like an afterthought. He prefers the studio: most days he is out here, painting.' 

1 Big HART’s Scott Rankin Sarah Price (interviewer), 2018 single work interview
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 1-7 December 2018;

'Scott Rankin is on a fly-in fly-out visit to Sydney. Between appointments he meets me at a cafe at Chippendale Creative Precinct. Cement and iron pillars divide the open space and groups of lunchtime patrons. The room is lit by midday sun. There’s a buzz of productivity: conversations are focused, laptops open. Echoes sound from the kitchen.' (Introduction)

1 Author Deb Kandelaars Sarah Price , 2018 single work column
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 13-19 October 2018;

'The writer of Memoirs of a Suburban Girl on her long road out of a violent relationship. “There I am, right in the middle of my teenage years and suddenly in a serious relationship. A relationship that pushes away my other life. Being hit was beyond my world experience. I didn’t want it to happen again. I started treading a little bit more carefully, and that set up a power dynamic.'  (Introduction)

1 Author Will Kostakis Sarah Price , 2018 single work column
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 1-7 September 2018;
1 Michaela McGuire, Sydney Writers’ Festival Sarah Price , 2018 single work column
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 28 April - 4 May 2018;

'She enters the empty bar without a sound. Loose black dress and soft sandals, a neat handbag under her arm. Outside it is the last of Sydney’s summer – blinding sunshine and scorching heat – but Michaela McGuire looks cool and readily composed.' (Introduction)

1 Rhymes with a Reason Sarah Price , 2018 single work column
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 27 January - 2 February 2018;

'Debra Adelaide is quick to tell me she isn’t a poet. She does love poetry though, she says, because in a very short amount of time it can take people into another space. It is highly political and very effective and not compromised in terms of its art. “Poetry is like the guerilla warfare of literature. It can just run in there really quickly, lob in a hand grenade and run out again. Stories and novels take longer to get into your system.”' (Introduction)

1 Author Melina Marchetta Sarah Price , 2017 single work column
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 16-22 September 2017;

'Travelling to St Albans Writers’ Festival, there is a point at which you realise your routine life can be left behind. It’s about the time you’re crossing the Hawkesbury, by the slow pull of the barge through a river lit with sun. Or on arrival at the village, at the stone buildings and blossom trees. There are chickens and kelpies, people and books, children playing hide and seek. Bales of lucerne surround a fire pit, so that writers and readers can merge as one.' (Introduction)

1 Author Marija Peričić Sarah Price , 2017 single work column
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 22-28 July 2017;

'The morning after receiving the Vogel Literary Award, Marija Peričić sits in the A-One Cafe at the ABC Centre in Ultimo. Filled with people and lively conversations, the cafe is in rush hour. At one end a large television broadcasts the morning news, at the other end a film crew is setting up  lights and cameras. Peričić has just finished a radio interview with Fran Kelly on RN Breakfast, telling the audience in a soft, even voice, that her book, The Lost Pages, is a story about the rivalry between two men, in literature and in love. Writing a novel was her life’s dream, she said, something she had always wanted to do. ' (Introduction)

1 Author and Academic Eva Cox Sarah Price , 2017 single work interview
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 18 March 2017;
'A small card dangles from sticky tape on her front door, on which her name is scrawled in swift cursive: Eva Cox. Inside the house, tacked to one of the bookshelves that line the narrow hallway, is a fabric poster. In bright red lettering it reads: FEMMO – STIRRING THE PENIS POT. Bustling around her cluttered kitchen, Eva jams the bunch of lavender I’ve brought into a glass jug. “I love lavender,” she says, and I agree. She fetches napkins and a knife for the cake. She chats and smiles. Other people have written about the affection they’ve felt for Eva when they interview her, but the suddenness of it is unexpected.' (Introduction)
1 Kathryn Heyman, Author Sarah Price , 2017 single work biography
— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 11 March 2017;
'Before she started writing her latest novel, Storm and Grace, Kathryn Heyman was woken by her dreams. She dreamt of rippling light on the ocean’s surface, a brilliant mosaic of gold and blue. She dreamt of free diving, of being submerged deep under water where blue turns to black and dazzling colour to darkness. In her dreams Heyman was weightless, sliding towards the shadows where everything was quiet and still.' (Introduction)

Price reports on the claims made by Malcolm Knox in the Sydney Morning Herald, 24-25 July 2004, that Norma Khouri had 'made up her past and facts in [Forbidden Love]'. The claims, if proved, would affect Khouri's residency status as she had been sponsored to migrate to Australia by her publisher, Random House, under the 'Nomination for Distinguished Talent' category.
