Education

Authorship

Dickey is a contributing editor at The [Oxford American] and the author of Pit Bull: [The Battle over an American Icon]. Her book attempted to show that negative views about the breed have often been shaped by misunderstandings of pit bulls and their history. This led to her unwittingly becoming a "heroine" for the pro-pit bull community and the target of threats and harassment from those who see her as an "apologist" for what they regard as a "vicious animal."
She was a finalist for the 2017 National Magazine Award in feature writing and won a Lowell Thomas Award in the category "Magazine Article on U.S./Canada Travel".
