Bio

Writer/editor Sarah Protzman arrived in New York City at age 24 with no job, no apartment and no idea which way was uptown. Her debut memoir, "Standing Room Only: Two Years in New York City" comprises select impressions, written as they happened, about the piecing together of a life from the ground up. From the day a pipe exploded in Midtown and left the city recalling 9/11, to the death of Heath Ledger and city’s glow after the 2008 election, Standing Room Only mingles national events with the relevant personal moments of an independent woman who will settle for nothing less than a happy, full life.
