ABOUT DIANNA GUNN:
I've has been passionate about words since I first learned to speak, and I've been writing stories almost as long. I had a YA fantasy novella, Keeper of the Dawn, published in 2017 and my first dark fantasy novel, Moonshadow's Guardian, was released in November 2018. I followed this with Moonshadow's Champion in 2024, completing the Moonshadow Rising Duology. I've since released Killer Debt: An Anthology of Murder and Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror. My next book, Woman of Sorrow and Blood, is set to release March 13th.
I've also long been dedicated to sharing the lessons of my writing journey with other fiction writers and building community around what is far too often a solitary hobby/career. In 2018 I founded Weeknight Writers, a social enterprise dedicated to providing accessible community and educational support for fiction writers, with this goal in mind.
Since founding Weeknight Writers I have hosted dozens of virtual conferences, hundreds of Bluesky chats, and countless other events. I love sharing my knowledge of writing, publishing, and marketing, and helping fiction writers find their way to joyful community.
