“Diana is a wonderful person and editor. No matter what stage you’re at in the writing process, she will not rest until you’re happy with the finished product. I have thrown a number of projects at her, and she has handled each with the professionalism and heart of any good editor, but the way in which Diana places relationships at the forefront of the partnership, it makes the advice and editorials she provides feel they are coming from the heart, rather than a place of obligation. I can’t recommend her enough— she has helped all of my stories come to their full potential, and I can’t thank her enough for that.“
– Jeniya Mard, poet & author, Pushcart award nominee for Catharsis
“Diana is a pleasure to work with — professional, insightful, competent. Her instincts are spot on, and she offers advice tempered with kindness and consideration. Just what you need in an editor, reviewer, teammate.”
– Judith Coopey, author of Redfield Farm and Looking for Jane
"Diana is an absolute treasure. If you can get onto her schedule, do it today! She knows her stuff, she'll be passionate about your book, and she'll make your work better. Don't hesitate - book her right flippin' now."
– Courtney Cole, New York Times Bestselling Author of Coming Home for Christmas and The Christmas Dress
“I threw a net out into the world to catch someone to Beta read my latest novel, The Intruders, and was fortunate enough for Diana to accept. When she was through, she sent me a detailed outline of areas that she liked and why, such as character development, pacing, plots, and subplots. She also provided a section of questions and suggestions. These questions helped point out areas that were unclear or needed more explanation. I took all of her suggestions, re-read my script, and was able to rewrite the backstory of certain characters which improved my story tenfold. Her work was as professional as any editor I’ve worked with within the publishing field. So much so, that my publisher offered her a position. It’s not said enough, but collaborative work with editors is imperative for all writers, and greatly raises the level of your work to a high standard. I’d recommend Diana and her services to anyone.”
– Brett McKay, author of The Other Side of Elsewhere and the Damage Inc. novels
“Working with Diana on my writing project was awesome! She worked with me to craft a writing plan and set goals during a time when I was swamped with work and dealing with a bit of anxiety about writing. Throughout the process, Diana was kind, patient, and encouraging. The result: an article written for the ATD (Association for Talent Development) Handbook, a who's who book among learning and development professionals, where my finished product was accepted with minimal edits. Diana was instrumental in guiding me to develop a written piece that I am proud of, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
– Crystal Richards, Principal & Owner, MindsparQ
“Over the past six months, Diana has been working as a developmental editor and coach on my forthcoming novel. During our time together, I have found her to be the consummate professional. In particular, her critical eye, creative input, and attention to detail have proven invaluable to the project. Without hesitation, I would recommend her services.”
