Bio

Karen Lacey is an Amazon best-selling author and insightful contributor for scores of published books. She recently wrote the business books The Complete Idiot's Guide to Elance for Penguin, and co-authored Pinterest Power for MacGraw Hill.

She is a highly versatile writer with a dynamic voice and unique experience authoring, collaborating, ghostwriting, editing, and proofreading self-help and how-to books in business, finance, health, and more. She translates complex, routine material in an easy-to-read, engaging, and often humorous manner that allows audiences to become absorbed in the topic.

Karen writes clean, on-point copy requiring very limited publisher editing, and she delivers copy on-time or ahead of schedule. She is collaborative yet independent, is self-motivated, and works well with others to achieve a common vision.

Donya Dickerson, Executive Editor, MacGraw Hill Professional, said of Karen, “I’d love to do another book with Karen. She’s definitely a dream author.”

Jason Miles, co-author and collaborator for Pinterest Power, said, "Karen welcomed me into this project and wrote tirelessly to make this book the best it could be.”
