Dianne Pearce is an award-winning author, editor, and publisher, recognized by organizations including the National Council of Teachers of English, The National Federation of Press Women, and The Delaware Press Association. Atlanta Writers Conference, Bay to Ocean Writers Conference, California Creative Writer's Conference, and the Indie Lit Festival are among the events where Dianne has been an invited guest.
Diane founded Devil’s Party Press in 2017, but she has been a freelance editor since 2000. Dianne taught creative and essay writing, and ESL, among other writing classes, for colleges on both coasts, for 30 years.
A graduate of both the West Chester University and Vermont College of Fine Arts writing programs, Dianne was fortunate to have a long one-on-one mentoring relationship with US Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera and Vermont Poet Laureate, Sydney Lea. She has also done writing and advocacy for causes close to her heart, among them adoption, animals, women's advocacy, and LGBTQ rights.
Dianne believes her strengths lie in mimicking her authors' voices, helping them to push the boundaries of their writing styles to make their pieces even more vibrant and engaging. As a publisher, Dianne helps with self-publishing, querying agents, and is a sought-after book coach.
