I am grateful for your attention to these words.
My name is Kari Flickinger. I spent my childhood wandering aimlessly through the mountains of Northern California. I obtained my degrees as a return student in my thirties from UC Berkeley, Diablo Valley College, and Sacramento City College where I had the opportunity to workshop with countless brilliant and kind writers.
Currently, I work as a freelance writer and proofreader in the San Francisco Bay Area. My writing has been nominated for Best of the Net and the Rhysling Award. I am a reader for Palette Poetry. I am also a sub-editor for Black Bough Poetry’s forthcoming 2021 Freedom / Rapture issues. When I am not writing, I play my guitar to my unreasonably large Highlander cat, Bear.
Would you like editing feedback regarding your poetry? Need fresh eyes on a long-term writing project? We can discuss current availability and pricing for editorial, proofreading, research projects and content creation. Toss me an email: kariflickinger@gmail.com

My creative work is born in the liminal spaces of life. If you would like to (have the means to) contribute to fueling my creative writing endeavors, consider a coffee.
