Shannon Dittemore

Shannon Dittemore is an award-winning author and speaker. Her young adult books include a high-stakes fantasy adventure in the Winter, White and Wicked duology, as well as an eye-opening plunge into the supernatural with the Angel Eyes novels.

The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books called Winter, White and Wicked a “propulsive, adrenaline-fueled ride through a dangerously thrilling and chilling landscape,” and the Whippoorwill committee awarded it the The Whippoorwill Award in 2021.

Following a decade-long stint as a contributor to Go Teen Writers, a Writers’ Digest 101 Best Websites for Writers selection seven years running, Shannon enjoys teaching and encouraging writers of all ages.

She’s taught in a variety of formats including year long classes, mentoring tracks, and workshops. When she's not at her desk, Shannon can be found in the wilds of Northern California, adventuring with her husband, their two children, and a husky named Leonidas.
