D. M. Ditson

D. M. Ditson is obsessed with telling the truth. She has been writing for over a decade as a journalist and communications consultant. She shares her life story to show that healing is possible and maps out her trauma recovery with hopes of helping others free themselves.

Wide Open is her first book. Before it was published, her memoir won the John V. Hicks prize, awarded by the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild. Wide Open also won a 2020 Saskatchewan Book Award and a Columbia Basin Trust artist grant.

Ditson recently moved from Regina, Saskatchewan to Nelson, British Columbia, where she can be found enjoying the mountains. She is happy.
