Savannah began writing The Fire Inside when she was 17 years-old. By the time she graduates from The New School, she will have completed the first draft of The Fire Inside. Her work centers on creating spaces that are inclusive and prioritizes representation. The heart of her writing is for women and the mental health and disability communities.

The Fire Inside is a dark retelling of the untold stories of Maleficent, Diablo, and the Woods people, and that of Aurora and the sleeping curse. This tale calls for us to be present with our feelings that may arise. The Fire Inside is written to catalyze discussions concerning violence against women, LGBTQ+ lives, coalition building, taking risks, and imagining what our world could look like until it is here amongst us.
