I can always count on high-quality work from Diana as well as a professional manner when dealing directly with clients. She is a solid editor and a joy to work with!"
Margaret Walker
Editorial Manager
"I worked with Diana for two years at Greenleaf Book Group, where she edited dozens of manuscripts at every stage of production from idea to publication. Diana is a consistent and thoughtful editor and excels at high-level structure—helping define the overall direction of a book. She directed the training of other editors and represented the company at various events, including a standing-room-only presentation at SXSW.
Diana is a valuable asset for any publishing team."

"Diana is a very competent and focused writer and editor. I hired her to help with two of my books. She was very open to listening to me and offering suggestions to improve the quality of both books. She was always quick to respond to my questions and if we ever needed to adjust a timeline, she was always accommodating.

"Diana is an incredible editor. She has great ideas, an eye for details, and is super easy to work with. She didn't try to change my book. She just made each page better. She not only helped me stay true to the characters and their voices, but also caught inconsistencies I had missed. She was organized, speedy, and went above and beyond my expectations. I HIGHLY recommend working with her."

"Diana coached me on my first full-length book, and she was a dream to work with. She struck the perfect balance between being enthusiastically encouraging and offering constructive and helpful suggestions that made my book richer and better. I'm convinced I would not have finished writing the book without her coaching expertise, and I'm grateful to have connected with her."
