Author Information:
Lisette Auton lives in a land-locked town in northeast England with her literary rescue dog, Harper Lee. She wishes that she’d been born by the sea like the rest of her sprawling family, but makes up for this by escaping to the coast whenever possible. Lisette's work focuses on identity, curiosity and play, kindness and access. Disabled, neurodivergent and northern, some say she’s a word artist, she says she does stuff with words. She works as a solo artist, with collaborators, and alongside wonderful humans as a creative practitioner. Her work lives on the page and also often leaps off it as performance or installation. She’s an actor, activist, poet, spoken-word performer, film and theatre-maker. You'll find Lisette’s work in galleries, online, in theatres and bookshops, as well as random places such as laundrettes and railway station waiting rooms. Lisette is an award-winning poet; a Penguin Random House UK’s WriteNow mentee; the 2019 Early Careers Fellow for Literature at Cove Park; on the TSS Publishing list of Best British & Irish Flash Fiction; and winner of the Journal Culture Awards 2021 Performance of the Year for WRITING THE MISSING – A RIVER CYCLE commissioned by Durham Book Festival.
