Emily Creswick Writer's Process Series: Karen Janowsky (Author)
Karen wanted to be an author and/or Wonder Woman when she grew up. One of those jobs was already taken, though. She lives with her husband, son, and six cats in Southern Maryland, where she teaches college literature and writing for CSM as an adjunct faculty in the School of Liberal Arts. Karen received her MA in literature and creative writing from Florida State University, and she won the Anaboisis Press Chapbook Contest in 1994 for her book "The Girl Who Ate Blue." When she isn't writing, she can often be found sitting at a friend's dining room table drinking wine and playing RPGs, hanging out at the local Indian restaurant with her bestie, or curled up in bed with a few cats, listening to the rain and either reading a book or watching a BBC mystery.
About the Emily Creswick Writer's Process Series
This is a monthly series for students, staff, faculty, and community members in which we bring local writers to the Writing Center to discuss writing processes. Events will occur on the first Tuesday of the month from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Writing Center.
