ABOUT
Ashley Diers is an illustrator and letterer who received her BFA in Graphic Design from Iowa State University. She also found herself writing a novel after the notion of writing the book you want to see refused to leave her head.
After leaving her hometown of Iowa to move to Colorado, Ashley designed movie title typography for Netflix in a myriad of languages (none of which she speaks) while wishing the mountains were just a little closer to Denver. She's also illustrated for craft fairs, galleries, YouTubers, book boxes, and authors. She officially became an author herself when her short story "Just Another Heartbreak Plot" was published in the YA anthology, All the Ways a Heart Burns.
Ashley currently resides in Minnesota, where she can be found wandering local bookstores, attending as many concerts as possible, or drinking entirely too much iced chai, even in winter. OUT OF STEP, her debut novel inspired by her own four years of playing flute in high school, is on submission and agented by Jess Taylor at Martin-Newens Literary Management.
