Since childhood, Karli M Donalson has been fascinated with written word. Through books and stories, she has escaped many grown-up days and hidden herself deep in fairytales. She grew up climbing orange trees in the small, quaint town of Frostproof, Florida and now resides in Northwest Georgia.

In 2014, she founded the Calhoun Area Writers and proudly watched this small group of friends blossom into a tremendous support system for writers. This year she announced the addition of a sister group- The Cartersville Area Writers.

Karli is the author of Perfectly, Imperfect, a laugh-out-loud, middle-grade fiction book about friendship and self-worth. Her more recent book, The Day After Yesterday, follows the life of Lydia Edwards and the harsh realities of aging parents and wrecked plans, and just how beautiful that can be.
