Kay Powell

We are pleased to announce Kay Powell as our guest speaker for the 2020 Highlands Writers Conference.

Obituaries editor for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution from 1996-2009, Kay Powell has been called the “doyenne of the death beat.” She has created memorable public legacies for moonshiners, a CEO turned K-Mart greeter, a model aircraft designer, the planet Pluto, and Flannery O’Connor’s peacock, among many others.
