My name is Diane Paul. I've been a professional writer for most of my working life. I've worked in public relations, journalism and publishing. I'm a creative writing tutor and I've run writing workshops as a writer in education.

I've authored three books, one of which won two book awards. I have an MA in scriptwriting. I write a successful book blog: http://bookblogforbookworms.blogspot.com/   I appraise writers' manuscripts and undertake copy-editing.  

The photo above shows my first book, Living Left-Handed, published by Bloomsbury Publishing. You can read the first chapter by pressing the button on the Books page and you will find details of my other books there.  

Manuscript Appraisals

One of Keyword's main activities is appraising manuscripts, identifying their strengths and weaknesses and their marketability. I read fiction, non-fiction, lifewriting and scripts. Those are also the subjects in which I tutor.

The Manuscript Appraisals page contains sub-pages giving:

  • testimonials from satisfied clients
  • my article in Freelance Market News on finding an agent 
  • how to submit your manuscript
  • writers' questionnaire

Copy-editing

Many years of experience as a journalist, editor, author and publisher have given me the knowledge and expertise for this skill.

Journalism

Freelance features for national newspapers, magazines and house newspapers include:

  • personality profiles
  • the arts
  • health
  • nutrition
  • alternative therapies
  • women's issues
  • lifestyle
  • left-handedness, ADHD and
  • many other topics 

Read  a few of the hundreds of articles I've written on the Journalism sub-pages:

  • Menton, France commissioned for 50 Connect (Gardens and Lemons); 
  • The left-handed office for The Guardian (Left in the Lurch) and
  • Jodrell Bank for The Guardian (Stars in Her Eyes).

Books

Read about my books and Chapter 1 of Living Left-handed on the Books sub-page.

Tutoring

Interested in enrolling on a distance learning creative writing course? These are the ones on which I tutor. If you sign up for a course, I'd be happy to be your tutor.
