About Karen
She has dreamed of being a writer since she was ten years old. She didn’t stop until it was true.
English instructor, Writing Center Coordinator, published author — and a living example of what happens when you stop hiding your warrior.
Karen’s Story
A teacher who knows what it costs to keep your voice to yourself.
Karen Taylor is an English instructor and Writing Center Coordinator at a community college in Western North Carolina, where she helps students discover that writing is a process — and that the limiting beliefs holding them back from the page are the very things worth examining. She has dreamed of being a writer since she was ten years old.
That dream became real. First came poems. Then contributions to two anthologies — Capturing the In-Between and Unveiling the Secrets — and then her own books with Synergy Publishing Group: Learning to Respect My Strut: My Journey as a Woman Warrior and The Silent Strut of the Shadow Warrior. Her writing explores how women can better understand their inherent power, experience their right to freedom, and find their own strut.
Away from the page, Karen is a mother of three sons — one biological, two acquired, all deeply hers — of whom she is fiercely proud. She is self-described as humorously inappropriate, an unapologetic lover of dogs and the beach. She will be the first to tell you that your story matters. She’ll also make you laugh while you’re figuring out how to tell it.

Why the Warrior
What Karen believes about your voice
Writing is a process, not a performance
The fear you feel at the blank page isn’t a sign you can’t write — it’s a sign you care. Karen teaches students and writers to work through the process instead of waiting for perfection.
Limiting beliefs are the real block
“I’m not a writer.” “My story doesn’t matter.” “I’ll do it when I’m ready.” Karen has heard every version. Her job is to help you examine them — and write anyway.
Women hold power they haven’t claimed yet
Karen’s writing — and her coaching — centers on a single conviction: women have an inherent right to freedom, to power, and to their own strut. Her work helps them find it.
