Sometimes people are kind enough to say nice stuff about me. (Then I share it here in a big-headed kinda way. Yay!)

“Diane is a terrific writer. Her work is witty, thought-provoking, sensitive and thorough. She also has some of the most creative feature ideas of any freelancer I know, and she’s versatile too - lots of journalists claim to be au fait with new media but Diane actually has the T-shirt. I would not hesitate to recommend her.” — Anne Wollenberg, journalist.

“Diane’s passion for the subject was always evident in her fantastic work. She secured some great interviews and exclusives and always went above and beyond the call of duty. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.” — Gemma Cartwright, my direct boss at Shiny Media.
