Karen Pickell
Writer, publisher, and Editor in Tampa, Florida
My first book, AN ADOPTEE LEXICON, will be released late summer 2018. I'm the founder and editor-in-chief of Raised Voice Press, a micro-press publishing creative nonfiction. I'm also the founder of Adoptee Reading, a website cataloging books written by and recommended by adopted people. I'm a current contributor & former editor at Lost Daughters, a collective blog for adopted women. My creative writing has appeared in literary journals and independently published anthologies. Previously, I served on the board of the Georgia Writers Association, as editor for the Georgia Poetry Society, and as associate editor of the literary journal Flycatcher. I talk about the topics I care about most on my blog, Between.
