Karen Harmon – Renowned Author, Speaker, and Educator

Writing

Since publishing my first memoir in 2018, I have dedicated myself to helping others find their voice and share their stories. As the author of three memoirs and two fiction books, I have guided many individuals through writing and publishing their biographies, memoirs, and fiction works. Through numerous memoir-writing courses and seminars, I empower people to document their journeys and bring their stories to life.

Speaking

As a speaker and educator, I have delivered multiple seminars at Capilano University, led numerous speaking engagements across British Columbia, and shared my insights through radio and television appearances. My work spans various topics, including mental health, diversity in fitness, and the art of storytelling.

Education

Beyond the written word, I have hosted memoir writing courses, facilitated workshops, and appeared on platforms like CBC Radio and CFJC TV. I’ve had the honour of connecting with communities through libraries, retreats, and fitness symposiums, sharing my passion for writing, fitness, and mental health.
