Dilys Wyndham Thomas is a British and Belgian writer, poet and editor. Dilys grew up in Saudi Arabia and Belgium, studied in France, and has since lived in Germany, Jordan, the UK and now the Netherlands. She attended the City St George’s, University of London, writers’ workshop, tutored by novelist Katy Darby, and is currently enrolled in Faber Academy’s flagship writing course, Writing a Novel, taught by Sarah May. Like so many others, Dilys began submitting her writing to publications during the COVID lockdowns. Since 2021, her poems, flash and short stories have appeared in anthologies and journals, including more recent publications in Ink Sweat & Tears, New Flash Fiction Review, The Passionfruit Review and Shooter Literary Magazine. Rust & Moth nominated her poem, “Elegy,” for a 2026 Pushcart Prize, and her poetry pamphlet “Breakwater” was longlisted for Mslexia’s Poetry Pamphlet Competition, judged by Imtiaz Dharker. In 2022, she wrote and recorded a spoken-word piece, “Bearings,” for Women on a Roll, a prize-winning documentary short about women rollerskaters in Amsterdam. “Bearings” was then released online as a stand-alone film poem. Dilys also hosts regular writers’ workshops for Strange Birds Migratory Writing Collective and was an assistant poetry editor at Passengers Journal for several years. She is currently working on her first novel.
