Bio
Ellie Kanning-Dawn grew up
in the sunny south π of Germany in a smaller town as a 90s kid,
discovering creative writing and art during childhood years
with scribbles and short stories now lost in time. She
annoyed a few too many middleschool teachers by being too
creative and inventive with essays, twisting the assignments
too far. She also developed an interest in hiking, nature, and
the mystery of unexplored forests at night.
In her early twenties, she went to college and went through
a brief episode of tech distraction π§ and self-discovery,
ending up with a science degree and a love for bigger cities and
new friendships. Difficult encounters later during
that time have shaped her values and beliefs, including a deep
appreciation for neurodiversity and friendship, as well as
the importance of community and kindness.
Today, Ms. Kanning-Dawn is busy with novels, art, writing, and
the passion for fantastic and explosive adventures πΉ, living
in a city but close to forests and mountains.
Often, her work is written for a younger audience and
has a speculative, otherwordly twist π§ββοΈ, with
occasionally unusual viewpoints, while not shying away from
more difficult topics.

More About Me
If you came here wondering about me as a person, here are a few
things:
I am a fan of noodles and embarrassingly in the past adored microwave ovens. I used to be an often confused night owl, but then various external changes converted me to getting up early, itβs funny how life flips sometimes. My current writing approach is discovery writing with only minimal planning ahead since I like to keep myself excited.
Growing up with German as native language, I discovered my interest
in English somewhat late in high school. Now it is all I write
literature in, my works
aren’t translations of any kind.
