Sarah Fain

Sarah Fain is a television series producer, screenwriter and story editor. In terms of supernatural fiction, she is best known for her work on the popular WB Network vampire series Angel as well as the even more popular Vampire Diaries, which began production in 2009 on the later iteration of the WB, the CW Network. Sarah often collaborates with fellow producer Elizabeth Craft.

Sarah began working on Angel in 2002, first as a story editor and later an executive story editor beginning with the season four episode "Supersymmetry". Craft also co-wrote the screenplay for that episode, along with Elizabeth Craft. She was credited as story editor on 18 episodes of the series, executive story editor on 22 episodes and co-wrote 8 episodes between 2002 and 2004.

Beginning in 2010, Sarah worked as a consulting producer on season two of the Vampire Diaries, starting with the season premiere, "The Return". She worked on 19 out of 22 episodes from that season. Again with Elizabeth Craft, Sarah co-wrote the episodes "Plan B" and "The Descent".

Sarah Fain and Elizabeth Craft were originally scheduled to serve as showrunners for the CW Network's 2011 television series The Secret Circle, but stepped down from the project, feeling as if the show was too topheavy with executives. Fain's Vampire Diaries colleague Julie Plec was in the running to take over Fain's work following her and Craft's departure from the project. Fain and Craft are still given producer credit in the show's pilot episode.
