Jasmine King is a student at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts specializing in creative writing. She is a Co-Editor-in-Chief for her school newspaper, The Artisan, where she won first place in newswriting at The Florida Times-Union in 2018. She has been published in literary magazines like The Metaworker and Elan. Jasmine also helps teach sophomores her true passion: journalism. In her earlier years, she grew up in Suffolk, Virginia, later moving to Jacksonville, Florida in June of 2016 to attend her current high school. She intends to double major in business management and communications. Though she is very detail-oriented and a hyper-manager, she does enjoy the company of her dog, Romeo, her mother and few others with whom she may be caught stressing about grades and college applications.

We’re pleased that King will read to us at the JaxbyJax Student Showcase at 1:30-2:30 PM on Saturday, October 13th at Women Writing for a Change, 1610 Osceola Street, in the historic Riverside section of Jacksonville.
