Immediate Source of Acquisition
The Jan Karon papers were given to the University of Virginia Library on October 2, 2014, by Jan Karon.
Biographical Note
Jan Karon was born on March 14, 1937 in Lenoir, North Carolina, to Robert Cecil Wilson (1914-1977) and Wanda Lee Wilson (1921- ) and was named Janice Meredith after the title of a popular novel. She and her younger sister, Brenda, lived as children with her grandparents, Monroe Ivy Cloer and Fannie Bush Cloer, on their farm outside Hudson, North Carolina. Both sisters later moved to Charlotte, North Carolina to join their mother who had married Toby Setzer, the owner of a hosiery knitting business.
At fourteen, Karon married Robert Bryan Freeland (1932-1995) in Charlotte and had one daughter, Candace Rae Freeland, in 1952. Her advertising career began at the age of eighteen, at Walter J. Klein Company, one of the first advertising agencies in the region.
Karon's marriage to Robert Freeland ended in divorce and in her early twenties, Karon married a Duke Power chemist, Bill Orth, and became active in the Charlotte Little Theater, the Mint Museum Drama Guild, and in local social and political issues. She was one of four white women who marched in an early civil rights protest, led by the Reverend Sydney Freeman, along Charlotte's North Tyron Street.
During the late sixties, she and Orth divorced. Karon then married Arthur Karon, a clothing salesman who moved the family to Berkeley, California, where they lived for three years.
After their marriage ended, Karon returned to Charlotte, North Carolina, and begun working again in advertising. Her dismissal from a Charlotte TV production company in 1982 precipitated what she called the 'proverbial dark night of the soul.' Karon returned to the faith taught her as a child by her grandmother. She began attending Charlotte's interdenominational Calvary Church, and worked as a free-lance copywriter until her move to Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1983, where she joined McKinney and Silver, an internationally renowned advertising firm.
She became an award- winning creative vice-president at McKinney, working on cruise line and airline accounts. There she won, with art director Michael Winslow, the coveted Steven E. Kelly Award, the print advertising equivalent of the Academy Award. Semi-finalists included British Airways, Harley-Davidson, and Waterford Crystal.
Her daughter, Candace Freeland, pursued photojournalism, winning numerous awards with the "Miami Herald" , the "Charlotte Observer" , and a stint in Central America for the "U.S. News and World Report" .
In order to pursue her dream of writing a novel, Karon left her advertising career and, at age fifty, bought a house in the small mountain town of Blowing Rock, North Carolina, where she supported her dream with freelance advertising work.
Soon, she approached the editor of "The Blowing Rocket" with a couple of chapters featuring an Episcopal priest named Tim Kavanagh, which he urged her to run in "The Blowing Rocket" . The ensuing two years of writing the priest's story for "The Blowing Rocket" resulted in her first novel, "At Home in Mitford" , published in paper by a small publishing house in the Midwest. Twenty years after its initial release in paper, the novel appeared in its 85th printing, in a new, 20th anniversary hardcover edition, from Penguin-Random House, the world's largest trade publisher.
The second and third Mitford novels, "A Light in the Window" and "These High Green Hills" , were published by the same house, with limited marketing and distribution. Karon took the promotion of her books into her own hands, cold-selling them to bookstores and befriending bookstore owners. In Raleigh, bookseller Nancy Olson of Quail Ridge Books, was given a copy of "At Home in Mitford" by Mary Richardson, Karon's Raleigh neighbor and friend. Olson admired the work and in 1996 introduced Karon to literary agent Liz Darhansoff. Darhansoff showed the Karon books to Carolyn Carlson at Penguin, and a long and fruitful relationship began. At this writing (2016), Karon has published twenty-two works of fiction and non-fiction, with sales estimated at more than 40 million, not including foreign sales in nineteen countries. Karon is currently published by G.P. Putnam's Sons, an imprint of Penguin-Random House; her editor is Christine Pepe.
Jan Karon has won much recognition for her work. Among these are three nominations by the American Booksellers Association of "At Home in Mitford" for Best Book of the Year for three consecutive years (1996-1998) – a one-time-only occurrence in the Association's history to date.
In 2013, "Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good" , which spent seventeen weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, was given the Library of Virginia's Best Fiction of the Year award. In 2015, Karon received The Library of Virginia's Lifetime Achievement Award. And in 2016, "Come Rain or Come Shine" debuting at #1 on the "New York Times" list, was the recipient of the 2016 Christy Award. A further recognition is the designation of Jan Karon as a lay Canon for the Arts in the Episcopal Diocese of Quincy. For more information about honors and awards, see box 44 of this collection.

Correspondence – Langston Hughes (1901-1967)1 folder(s)1961-1962Scope and Contents
This folder contains eight items, including Jan Orth Karon's note explaining that Langston Hughes was the cousin of "Response" Assistant Editor, George Love.
There are two postcards from Hughes to Jan Orth, as the editor of the magazine "Response" when she lived in Charlotte. Hughes expresses gladness that she is using his Chapel Hill piece, asks for six copies when it is published, sends her some photographs and biographical information, and mentions his cross-country tour (February 2, 1961). He thanks her for the copy of the magazine "Response / 4" and says it "looks most attractive, and the contents intriguing" (August 4, 1961).
Upon Hughes' return from California, in his letter of March 22, 1961, he thanks Orth for the six copies of "Response / 3" which he will then send to the institutions collecting his work. He describes the magazine issue as "very handsome (and interesting)" and says he likes "the variety and format" very much. He encloses a copy of "Grandma" (not present) for possible publication in a future issue.
Other Hughes items include: an undated photograph; a handbill for "Black Nativity Gospel on Broadway" by Langston Hughes with the typed note "Festival of Two Worlds, Spoleto, Italy, June-July, 1962"; a reprint of a short story autographed by Hughes, "Sorrow for a Midget," published in "The Literary Review" and addressed "For Orth"; an undated advertisement for the record "Tambourines to Glory" with the word "play" circled and with his handwritten note "Goes into rehearsal this week - Theatre Guild. L.H."

This collection was a gift from Jan Karon to the Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia Library on 23 February 2022.
MSS 16077, Jan Karon papers addition 6, Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia Library.
This addition to the Jan Karon papers (MSS 16077) primarily contains greeting cards and letters sent to the American novelist Jan Karon of Charlottesville, Virginia. The bulk of the cards present in this collection span the holiday seasons of 2020 and 2021.
In 2021, Karon founded The Mitford Museum in her former elementary school in Hudson, North Carolina. A number of the greeting cards and letters included in this collection discuss the formation of this museum and its collections as well as an opening speech given by Jan Karon, invitations to parties, author visits, and lectures.
Also included are condolence cards to Karon on the death of her daughter, Candance Freeland, in 2021.
In addition to the greeting cards, the collection includes a sketchbook with drawings of flowers and places dated 1975, personal planning calendars for 2020 and 2021, recipe notebooks, photographs of gatherings from the 1980s and 1990s, magazine features of Jan Karon, "Sanctuary of Beauty," an obituary for Candace Freeland and Jan Karon's step-father Barry Setzer, a poster highlighting the history of Esmont, which is a 100-acre estate in Albemarle County owned and restored by Karon, and a personal and beautifully illustrated book titled "Donna: Life, Art, Garden, and Home" about Donna Ernest.
