Dickey is a contributing editor at The Oxford American and the author of Pit Bull: The Battle over an American Icon.[3][4] Her book attempted to show that negative views about the breed have often been shaped by misunderstandings of pit bulls and their history.[5] 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 a so-called "vicious animal."[6]
She was a finalist for the 2017 National Magazine Award in feature writing[7] and won a Lowell Thomas Award in the category "Magazine Article on U.S./Canada Travel".[8]
Dickey is a Visiting Lecturer on Journalism and Public PolicyinDuke University.[2]
She lives in North Carolina.[9] She is the youngest child of the late poet and novelist James Dickey.[10]
