A. V. Dicken is a speculative fiction and short story writer. Her work is introspective, feminine, and quietly strange, concerned with voice, agency, and the cost of being seen.

Angela was raised in the Midwest and fell in love with the work of Mary Shelley and Edgar Allan Poe at an early age. She studied literature and gender studies at Miami University (the one in the Ohio cornfields) before earning a certificate in developmental editing from the University of Washington. She currently serves as Submissions Director for After Dinner Conversation, a philosophy & ethics fiction magazine.

When she isn't writing or reading, Angela can usually be found wandering independent bookstores, visiting museums, attending the theater, or spending time with her greyhound, Fable.

She is currently working on a speculative novel exploring folklore, memory, and the stories we inherit, alongside a collection of surreal stories set in liminal spaces.
