About Dianne

BLOG: I update my blog a few times each week.

Okay, that’s a lie.

I aspire to update my blog a few times each week.

CURRENT WORDS PUBLISHING is my company. You can find out a lot about that here. I ended up in the crazy world of publishing because I’m sort of an activist for authors. I love editing books, and helping authors if I can. I am a reading junkie. I love all genres fairly equally. As an editor I strive to be helpful and enhance a book without leaving behind any sign that I was there. I work on the low end of the editorial scale from the Editorial Freelancers Association, of which I am a member. I edit 3-6 books a month on average, and a few short pieces in addition to that. I also book coach.

WRITING: I write novels, short stories, and poetry.

AMAZON AUTHOR PAGE: follow me there. 🙂

WRITING CONFERENCE SPEAKER: I present often, and was recently a guest editor at the Atlanta Writers Conference and the California Creative Writing Conference. Contact me through Current Words or directly @ dianne@currentwords.com. I am also a contributor at Authors Electric.

PERSONAL STUFF: I am refugee from academia (over one-million college students taught to write and research and imagine), an adoptive parent, a late bloomer, and married to David Yurkovich. The local squirrels call me Mrs. Peanut Lady. My dog calls me Mommy. I love music of all kinds, and hope to someday be the lead singer of a band, probably The Beatles, or the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
