Sara Mesa piše poeziju, kratke priče, romane i eseje. Dosad je objavila šest romana i tri zbirke priča, a za svoj je spisateljski rad višestruko nagrađivana.
Njezine zbirke priča No es fácil ser verde [Nije lako biti zelen; 2008.], La sobriedad del galápago [Trezvenost kornjače; 2009.] i osobito Mala letra [Loš rukopis; 2016.] stekle su veliku popularnost kod čitatelja, a kritika posebno hvali njezin sažet, napet, oštar stil pisanja te je smatra jednim od najzanimljivijih, najosobnijih glasova suvremene španjolske književnosti.
U svojim djelima često istražuje problematične, uznemirujuće međuljudske odnose, načine na koji ljudi zadržavaju bol za sebe i nanose je drugima te odstupanja od normi, izolaciju, opsesije i društveno licemjerje.
Rođena je u Madridu 1976. godine, a odrasla je u Sevilli.
