Alicia Dill
Biography:
ALICIA DILL is an Army veteran, public speaker and award-winning author. She spent six years as an Army soldier and globally published print journalist. She remains active in the veteran community by bringing storytelling to a wider audience and advocating for accurate representation of women in uniform. Her time as a soldier serving “in harm’s way” gave her the opportunity to meet so many talented women with the same goal of service above oneself. It's because of that experience, the Missouri native wrote her debut novel, Squared Away, in a series of untold stories of sisters in uniform.
She joined the Iowa Army National Guard at the age of 17 and through her GI Bill benefits received her degree in journalism and international studies at the University of Iowa. She recently completed an MBA and a Masters in Communication Management at University of Dubuque. Her first book debuted at the historic Prairie Lights Bookstore in 2019. In 2020, Squared Away won the international Next Generation Indie Book Award in the Thriller Category and the Finalist of the National Indie Excellence Award in the Friendship Category. She appeared on Talk of Iowa with Charity Nebbe, the international podcasts, Women of the Military and The Female Veteran Podcast and KCRG-TV9 News Channel in Eastern Iowa.
Alicia relishes sharing her lessons learned in navigating the publishing industry and investing in the art of the possible. Her inspiration and energy is usually spent creating a moment for the audience, regardless of the artistic medium. She is keeping up the momentum with her second novel out for publication in September 2021.
