“Diane is awesome! I know that as a writer I should be able to express myself in more colorful language but I can’t help what first comes to mind when I think about my experience with her. Going into this project I lacked confidence and I was afraid that I did not have what took to be a successful writer. As we combed through my stories with a fine toothed comb, she praised what I did well and EXPLAINED where I went wrong. I love working with Diane because she is not overbearing with her suggestions and her ability to educate while correcting parallels to being back in a freshman writing course. It feels that she enjoys what she is doing and not in it to simply make extra money. Diane is the first editor that I’ve ever worked with and unless she gets rid of me, she will be the last.”—Deante Lavender
