Karen
Iwamoto was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, where
she spent her childhood writing stories about her neighborhood
friends. Her first encounter with an editor occurred when
she was about seven or eight and misspelled a friend’s last
name. The friend, who pointed out that she knew how to spell
Karen’s name, was not amused. Karen left the Big Island after
graduating from high school in 1998. She moved to Oahu to
attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She graduated in
May with a B.A. in journalism and is looking forward to chronicling
life in St. Petersburg.
