I always love our Writer’s Nights at Marigold Press! A special thank you to Karen Dove Barr for sharing her writing journey with us (and for answering all our questions) with authenticity and grace.

Every writer’s journey is different, and I love how Karen says she did “everything wrong,” but it still worked out pretty well for her in the end! Karen stresses using the resources in your circle while also stretching yourself in sending out queries and being willing to risk rejection. Such great material!

Check out Karen’s work at https://www.karendovebarrauthor.com. (I can’t wait to read my latest purchase, Burnt Pot Island!)

Calling all current and prospective authors: Marigold Press Books is hosting our popular Writer’s Night series once again on Thursday, February 20th! Make plans to join us as we hear from local author, Karen Dove Barr, on the writing process and how to sell your books!

Karen Dove Barr recently completed a second historical novel, entitled Night’s a Shadder, Day’s a Shine, featuring a Geechee/Gullah mother and daughter on Skidaway Island from 1856 through 1868. The heroines survive the island’s momentous events following the Civil War, including the experiment known as “40 acres and a Mule.” Their secret of survival-the ancient art of rooting, also known as witchcraft. Because of her extensive research, Karen was quoted on National Public Radio’s June and July 2024 broadcasts of “40 Acres and a Lie” by Reveal.
​
Burnt Pot Island, published November 2021 by Resource Publications, an imprint of Wipf and Stock Publishers, is her debut novel. She is the author of nonfiction collections of essays: Wild Times on Skidaway Island, Strategic Media, Inc., 2013, which includes many of her nature photographs, and Running Through Menopause, Brundage Publishing, 2006, about becoming a long-distance runner at age fifty.
