 "Diana was a masterful pinch-hitter on a manuscript that hadn't seen the light of day for years, stepping into the middle of a series sight-unseen and fine-tuning the strings of narrative with a light touch and a pitch-perfect ear. She was a delight to communicate with, responsive, encouraging, and enthusiastic – the perfect balance of professional administration, editorial skill, 

and eager reader!"

“Diana is such a thorough, experienced editor, while also being prompt and accessible—a rare combination! I can honestly say Diana’s insights elevated every book of mine she edited, and her knowledge of story as well as genre made her an excellent brainstorming buddy too. I highly recommend her skills!”

"I had the immense pleasure of working with Diana and I can't speak highly enough about the incredible impact she had.

“Diana is a tremendous editor. I can't describe how revelatory her edit letters always feel--even when what she's suggesting is a lot of work, I instantly see how much it's going to improve the book. She always recognizes exactly what I'm trying to do with a piece and I never feel pushed to be something I'm not. Instead, she helps me to reach for better, more realized versions of exactly what I want out of my writing.”

Sam Hawke, Aurealis, Ditmar, and Norma K. Hemming Award-winning author

“Diana’s body of editing work includes a wide range of top-tier modern fantasy that speaks to her excellent editorial eye. She has a particular knack for identifying ‘big picture’ narrative issues and working collaboratively with authors to elevate the elements of a work that will resonate with audiences.”

Vicki Pettersson, New York Times bestselling author

THE TAKEN, VIcki Pettersson. GIrl in a red dress and behind her a man with wings. Kim Harrison quote

“I worked under Diana’s steady, unflinching guidance for nine of my ten published novels.  Her sharp understanding of story and constructive, critical eye have turned me into an active writer and confident storyteller, and her professional belief in me supported me before I fully believed in myself. It remains a great relief to know I still have her tireless empathy and clear guidance when I need it.”

“Diana Gill is an extraordinarily gifted editor. I’m in awe of her insight and intuitiveness for story and character. Time and time again, she has helped steer my novels out of the muck and into the tale I wish to tell.”

“Diana truly understands the heart of a story, and she's got the knowledge and know-how to make any book shine. Her notes are specific, actionable, and wholly aimed at strengthening—rather than flat-out changing—the work at hand. I loved having Diana in my corner for my first two novels and would work with her again in a heartbeat.”

Kemi Ashing-Giwa, acclaimed author of THE SPLINTER IN THE SKY

THE SPLINTER IN THE SKY, Kemi Ashing-Giwa

“It was an honor to work with Diana on my debut novel. Her in-depth edit letter identified key areas of improvement while also emphasizing what already worked. The feedback she gives is a perfect balance of honest, constructive criticism and kind encouragement.”

Hannah Fergesen, acclaimed author of THE INFINITE MILES

THE INFINITE MILES, Hannah Fergesen

“Working with Diana on the development edit for my debut was an absolute pleasure. Not only was she responsive, communicative, and collaborative, her insights undoubtedly made the book miles better. With a starred review from Publisher's Weekly, I can safely say Diana's editorial contribution was instrumental in taking the book from good to great, and I can't wait to work with her again.”
