Karen Winn

Karen is the author of two novels: The Society (coming 2026), and Our Little World, published by Dutton/ Penguin Random House.

She earned her MFA from Fairleigh Dickinson University. For her undergraduate studies she attended the University of Pennsylvania, where she may or may not have belonged to a secret society.

Writing is her first love and second career; she worked as a nurse for many years. Karen lives in the charming Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston with her husband, their children, and a 95-pound bernedoodle.
