Career
Dickey began her writing career in 1994 in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she wrote for The St. Petersburg Press, The Moscow Times, and Russian Life. In 1995, she and photographer Gary Matoso spent three months traveling across Russia, posting photos and stories to The Russian Chronicles, an early Web travelogue.
In 2005, Dickey recreated the 1995 trip with photographer David Hillegas, again traveling across Russia to track down the people she and Matoso had met and report on how their lives had changed. That project – The Russian Chronicles: Ten Years Later – ran for eleven weeks on the Washingtonpost.com website.
Dickey began her ghostwriting / book doctor career in 1997, when she assisted then-Washington Post reporter Kara Swisher in completing her book AOL.COM. Her book clients have included gospel singer Cissy Houston, California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, Whitewater figure Susan McDougal, former Hearst Magazines president Cathie Black, and actor Patrick Swayze.
