Dor Atkinson
middle grade and young adult fantasy author
 

Greetings! 

 

I'm a college educator, professional theatre director, and writer of young adult and middle grade speculative fiction.

​

My kidlit stories feature:

​

Misfit kids and teens challenging tyrants in unjust worlds;
Diverse and inclusive casts;
Found families;
Deep, dark, underground creepiness.

​

Bird metaphors: feathers, wings, cages...
Circuses, performers, theatre and art magic (go figure);
Enemies to friends;
LGBTQ+ characters.

​

Elements of mythology and folk tales;
Complex, evil queens and smiling villains;
Surreal, whimsical settings a la Miyazaki;
Artsy underdogs lighting the fuse of revolution!
