A cum laude graduate from Pacific University’s Creative Writing Program, Gina Daggett is an award-winning writer and a regular columnist in CURVE, the nation’s best-selling lesbian magazine. Her alter ego, Lipstick, pens half of the the punchy column Lipstick & Dipstick. Their debut book, the humorous, over-the-top Lipstick & Dipstick’s Essential Guide to Lesbian Relationships recently arrived in bookstores (Alyson Books).  

Through the years, Daggett’s words have appeared in CURVE (where she’s also a contributing editor), Portland Tribune, Portland Monthly, Lesbian News, Just Out, Girlfriends, Nervy Girl, The Kerf Poetry Journal and A Cup of Comfort for Inspiration. 

If she's not pounding the keys of her computer, she's pounding the pavement with her running shoes (she finished her first marathon in 2004), playing tennis or digging in her garden. 

In 2004, as a work in progress, a novel she recently finished, Jukebox, received a generous grant from POWER UP, a nonprofit for budding filmmaker’s in Los Angeles.  She is currently adapting this manuscript, which is currently being shopped around by her literary agent, into a screenplay.
