A cum laude graduate from Pacific University’s Creative Writing Program, Gina Daggett is an award-winning writer, producer, director, 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. Check out their first book, the humorous, over-the-top Lipstick & Dipstick’s Essential Guide to Lesbian Relationships and their online web series "The Lipstick & Dipstick Show."

Daggett's debut novel, Jukebox (watch trailer), is forthcoming with Bella Books (Nov 2010).  In 2004, as a work in progress, the Jukebox fiction manuscript received a generous Filmmaker Fund grant from POWER UP. Since then, Daggett has adapted Jukebox into a screenplay and plans on producing/directing the film in 2011-2012.

     In March 2010, Dagett won OUTtv's HOT PINK SHORTS contest and is currently producing her first short film titled 'Til Death Do Us Toby. Her debut onto the short film scene as a writer/director/producer will also be captured on film and made into a "Making Of" documentary produced by OUTtv.

     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), hitting tennis balls, looking for seaglass on the Spanish Banks or playing in Whistler with her partner.
