Mik Everett

Mik Everett (1991- ) was born in Wichita, Kansas, to an accountant and an occupational therapist. Her childhood was divided between writing voraciously and rescuing baby birds.

Currently, Mik Everett is a transrealist author and poet with American Regionalist tendencies. As an author, Mik Everett is concerned with social activism and progressive change. She hopes that her non-fiction Memoirs of a Homeless Bookstore Owner, currently available from Unknown Press, and her upcoming novel Land of Plenty can help to galvanize that change. Mik Everett is actively engaged in homelessness outreach and is involved in a number of other social issues, including promotion of independent literature.

Mik Everett is a staff editor for Kleft Jaw Press and co-founded Syntactics, a literary development group with open mic events in Wichita, Kansas.

Mik’s novels include Memoirs of a Homeless Bookstore Owner and Turtle: The American Contrition of Franz Ferdinand.
