Diana is a joy to work with: She’s extremely bright and creative, tech-savvy and one of the best copy editors I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She’s deadline-conscious and yet able to craft a quality product, both editorially and graphically. To top it off, she’s a lovely person to be around, with quite a sense of humor. Anyone who hires her will be lucky to have her.

Books

I have edited and designed a variety of books for Best Publishing, including the entire 800-page NOAA Diving Manual, 6th edition. I also created indexes for all the books that required one.





For Mystery of the Last Olympian, a book about the wreck of the HMHS Britannic, the sister ship of the Titanic, I used typefaces that resembled what the White Star Line used in the print shops on board its Olympic-class ocean liners. The publisher opted to have photo insert sections rather than incorporating photos throughout the text pages.







I also designed two children’s books, using big photos, bright colors, and simple words to educate young readers about fish and other marine life.
