Write Expressions
Under Write Expressions, the editorial arm of the advisory, Diana also helps entrepreneurs and writers show up on the page as the best version of themselves. Her copy editing services reflect unrivaled finesse in grammar as well as sensitivity to the style and voice that AI cannot nuance. (Yes, she edits GPT’s best revisions and, for dopamine, The New York Times in her spare moments.) Her clients write with greater clarity and command, seeing that it takes more than just writing more.
Technique + Art = Magic
Diana works with a limited number of clients on writing and editorial projects including journals and books, business content, and websites.
Writing
The most powerful novels that stay with me long after I close them sound the echo of steps not taken by characters who’d had a choice. Because that is life. Able to choose only one moment in time, we forgo competing realities, sometimes let go the dreams that chase us.
>> The Path You Might Have Taken
Beauty dances in the pageantry of the sunset and of the cosmos (who said Jupiter had to be so beautiful?), in the languages of men. Beauty wasn’t an artful afterthought to this world. It obligates itself upon us.
