About

Kara Ferguson was born and raised in Memphis, TN. In late 2008 she obtained a BLS from The University of Memphis in Art History and English, and then thought it might be a good idea to decide what she wanted to be when she grew up. Since then Kara’s spend most of her time writing short stories, poetry, and novels in various stages of completeness. She’s picked up a few publishing credits along the way. In addition to her writing, Kara is the founder and editor of a quarterly literary magazine, Midnight Screaming, which published its first issue in January of 2009. Kara also serves as a Municipal Liaison for National Novel Writing Month and is a member of a Memphis based writers’ group called Word Catchers. With what little time she has left, Kara reads everything, watches zombie movies, and scours the web for new flavors of pocky. She has been previously published in Outercast, Static Movement, The Oddville Press, Coscom Entertainment’s poetry anthology Vicious Verses and Reanimated Rhymes, and will be in the upcoming Spring issue of Poetry Quarterly. She’s currently working on a non-fiction collection of personal essays which she hopes will make you laugh until you pee yourself.
