Her work has been included in many anthologies including the O.Henry and Pushcart Prize (three times), and she has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Arkansas Arts Council. She has won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Book Reviewing, been awarded residences at MacDowell, Yadoo, and The House of Literature in Paros, Greece.

Katy Butler is a Buddhist journalist and author of The Art of Dying Well. Her memoir, Knocking on Heaven’s Door was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and was chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of the ten best memoirs of 2013.
She is at work on a new memoir about her search for love and enlightenment in her wild 20s and 30s.
Her writing has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Tricycle, the Buddhist Quarterly, Best American Essays, Best Buddhist Writing, and Best American Science Writing. Among other honors, she is a past finalist for a National Magazine Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. She will read from her new memoir-in-progress.
She lives in Mill Valley.
