I’m a poet, teacher and journalist with NCTJ accreditation based in Brighton. I cover stories on everything from pop culture to politics and have worked as an entertainment reporter for The Argus and freelancer for BN1 Magazine, Brighton & Hove Independent and Daily Mirror. 

An award-winning writer, I received an Eric Gregory Award from the Society of Authors for poets under thirty for my first collection and have an MA in Creative Writing from the UEA. Read more about my poetry here http://karenpoetry.com

In 2016 I was appointed Poetry Editor for Sabotage Reviews, where I commission reviews of small scale poetry publications that would otherwise not receive public attention. I participate in running the well established Saboteur Awards and co-host discussion panels for the festival.
