Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author

“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 have had the pleasure of having Diana as an editor. Her suggestions were intelligent and insightful, and my books were better because of her comments.”

"I had the immense pleasure of working with Diana and I can't speak highly enough about the incredible impact she had. Diana understood the nuances of my work, drawing from her own personal & professional experiences to strike the delicate balance between preserving my voice and refining my work. Diana's expertise with both fiction and non-fiction writing helped to elevate the proposal and give it a unique storytelling quality. Her mentorship extended beyond simple editing; it was a transformative experience that will stay with me throughout my writing career." 

“Diana is a creative, sympathetic editor with a flair for story and a genuine commitment to diversity. She really GETS genre. You couldn't have a better partner to help make your book shine.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
