About the author

Dave Di Vito

Driven by a passion for the music, culture, and shifting zeitgeists of the late 20th century, Dave Di Vito writes sweeping, immersive fiction that explores identity, resilience, and the complexities of the human spirit.
Whether diving into the gritty, glamorous heights of the pop music industry or the intimate, emotional bonds of LGBTQ+ family dynamics and coming-of-age journeys, his stories capture the raw reality of staying true to oneself.
Known for crafting atmospheric, era-defining narratives—with a particular love for the vibrant energy of the 1980s and 90s—Di Vito creates fiercely authentic characters navigating survival, belonging, and self-discovery.
Born in Melbourne, he has lived and worked across London, Lecce, and Kyoto, and currently writes from Rome.
