I'm Diane Paul and I'm an award-winning author, national journalist, editorial consultant and writing tutor. Bloomsbury published the first book I wrote - Living Left-Handed. Since then, I have had two books published, one a double-award winner. I have been a professional writer for most of my working life, in media relations, publishing, national journalism and training. Keyword Editorial is my company and I provide editorial services for writers and people looking for freelance writers. You can read about them below, then just click on the buttons on the right for those that you need.
