: About Me

Hi,

My name is Karen Zuppinger. I have been writing for over twenty-five years. 

I have won numerous writing awards including,  America Best Short Fiction contest , Concept Magazine short story award, and first runner-up in the Chesterfield  Screenwriting Competition.

My article on the Wall Street Financial meltdown was published in Vermont Living magazine. And my poetry can be found in the upcoming issues of Assisi Online Journal of Arts and Letters.

I have interned under Barbara Walters on "The View", Bill Cosby, "The Cosby Show", studied under Spike Lee in my graduate program at New York University, and worked on numerous films, music videos and commercials. But my first love is writing.

Have a look around the site at some of my other work. And if you believe I can help you better express yourself, market your product or ideas please contact me.
