My name is Diane Paul. I've been a professional writer all my working life. 

I've worked in public relations, journalism and publishing. I'm an award-winning author, a scriptwriter, a creative writing tutor, a writer in education, an editorial consultant and a blogger.

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, copy-edit books and tutor on degree level courses.

I also compose music - some of which is currently in production.

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, where you will also find details of my other books.  

Manuscript Appraisals

My manuscript appraisals identify your writing's strengths, weaknesses and 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. I've been doing it since I began work as editorial assistant in television journalism.

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).
