About Dione David

After graduating with a Bachelor of Journalism, Dione was first a journalist for local community newspapers and then a features writer for glossy magazines in the UK.
She then completed stints as a copywriter for Fairfax and an online lifestyle features writer, before leaving the media industry all together and declaring she would never return.
A decade later, when she’s not falling in love with writing again, she’s tending far too many houseplants and enjoying the chaos of life with her little family in the beautiful Illawarra region.
She enjoys telling people’s stories, covering everything from business to the environment, food and the arts.
