I love reading, writing and entertaining people with my stories.
I write books, web copy, articles, suspenseful short stories and my blog posts try to be funny. I’ve also released an action-packed epic fantasy/adventure trilogy, adult epic fantasy, and a book of suspenseful short stories. I’ve recently spoken at the Sydney Writers Festival, which was a wonderful experience.
As my tag on twitter says, “I love sharing my stories but I wish they wouldn’t keep me awake at night.” You can find my stuff on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and iTunes. Come join me on Twitter @DionneLister or Facebook.
I hope you enjoy your visit 🙂
Articles, Interviews & News
It’s a competitive world we authors live in, so when we finally get to be interviewed for a newspaper, radio or blog, it’s a big deal. Similarly, if we are even nominated for an award it’s a compliment worth at least a month’s worth of happy dancing. I haven’t been inundated with either so far, but am very proud and happy about the small achievements I’ve made. And for those of you who are interested, you can follow the links to prove I’m not lying ;).
If you would like to arrange an interview, please email me at dionne@dionnelisterwriter.com.
News, Events & Speaking Engagements
As you may know from perusing my site, I’m an experienced and successful author and editor with an associate degree of creative writing from Southern Cross University. I love sharing my knowledge about writing, self-publishing, and editing, and I’ve spoken at some amazing places, including the NSW Writers Centre, Hunter Writers Centre, Moorefield Girls High and the Sydney Writers Festival. If you would like to contact me about appearing at your workshop or event, please email dionne@dionnelisterwriter.com.
