“I was in third grade when my essay questioning the possibility of a nuclear strike on American soil ran in our local newspaper. Looking back, I suppose I’ve always been drawn to the questions no one else wanted to ask.”
At nine years old, Dawn Reno Langley published her first piece — an essay questioning the likelihood of an attack on American soil during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It ran in her local newspaper. She hasn’t stopped writing since.
A Fulbright Scholar with an MFA in Fiction from Vermont College and a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies, Dawn has published more than thirty books — novels that center on social justice, spiritual explorations of the divine feminine, nonfiction on Native American and African American art, and award-winning essays in The Missouri Review, Hunger Mountain, and Superstition Review.
Her TEDx talk on creativity and purpose has reached audiences worldwide. When she’s not writing from her home near the North Carolina coast, she’s traveling to Kenya, Thailand, Paris, Islamabad, Venice because every story begins with a place.
