Who is Karen M. Cunningham anyway?

A graphic designer by day, and a closet writer at all other times, Karen is an overthinker from way back. She always has a story in her head and is known to become quite panicky when she doesn't have at least a small stack of books waiting to be read.

​

Karen is the author of Happy Jack – the story of a girl who is unable to find her way in the world until she addresses a trauma from her past – which won the inaugural Buzz Words Page Turner Writing Competition.

​

She was awarded a mentorship from the Australian Society of Authors for her first YA novel, Missing Sarah Harris, and is also the author and illustrator of Jenny Spaghetti (writing as Karen Margaret), a picture book for very young children.

​

When she's not dreaming up characters, Karen also likes to write copy for businesses and articles about random stuff, along with plenty of other stories to keep her awake at night.
