DAKOTA WARREN (also known as Nowhere Girl) is an author, poetess and performer but also very much just a girl.

Dakota’s girlhood was spent in rural Australia daydreaming, dancing and scribbling poems onto napkins. After many years of posting for her loyal 10 subscribers on her blog and now online portfolio NOWHERE GIRL, Dakota began the relentless process of submitting to literary journals and magazines whilst she studied - double majoring in literature and creative writing at university and screen acting with the National Theatre. Scouted in 2021 by indie publisher PURE NOWHERE, her debut anthology ON SUN SWALLOWING was published in 2022, a passion project turned international bestseller and finalist for the Goodreads Choice Best Poetry Book of 2022 with the help of Dakota’s fast growing audience. Crowned bCreator’s Book Creator of the Year 2023, Dakota now lives in London obsessively enthusing about the arts on her cult-like corners of the internet, working on her upcoming novel and/or anthology, and now managing and curating her literary and arts journal NOWHERE GIRL COLLECTIVE.
