Dimity Powell

Biography

To Read, Write and Inspire sum up Dimity’s main passions in life, along with sailing on the beam, eating ice cream and writing in her diary – although doing all three at once makes her nauseous. She’s a Kids’ Lit nut who loves filling every spare moment with words which she enjoys weaving into short story anthologies, digital narratives, junior novels, and most gratifyingly, picture books. When she’s not wrangling words and her border collies, she’s reviewing or sharing her love of story in front of crowds of very young (and old!) people. It says so on her website, so it must be true. Dimity delights in rainy days and is never ever afraid of getting wet although still can’t surf despite living on the Gold Coast, Australia.
