Get access to the proven tools, tactics and strategies I’ve used
to become a best-selling author with almost 300,000 books in print
while helping many other writers start, finish and publish their books.
hi, i'm diane.
I teach mission-driven “wanna be writers” how to start, finish and publish their book so it can make the difference they want, whether they work at a business, non-profit, start up, or are on their own.
When I started my first book, I had no idea what I was doing or how I’d get from “wannabe writer” to published author.
I had a full time job running my own company, an 18-month-old baby, and another baby on the way.
Where would I find the time to manage my business, pay attention to my family, and write a book, too?
That first book - I struggled with framing the content, organizing the research, actually writing the copy and then marketing the book when it was finally published.
But by the time I finished my fourth book, I had the entire process down to a system.
Along the way, I did it all:
- I found an agent, developed a proposal, and wrote a big best seller.
- I wrote a smaller book that I self-published, only to have it picked up by a major publishing house the very same day it came out.
- I wrote another book that got great reviews – but all but disappeared for lack of support and marketing.
- I wrote a fourth book that became known as the “bible” of its genre, and landed me speaking engagements in China and Oman and at venues all over the United States.
Meanwhile, I started a writing group to help other aspiring authors start, finish and publish their books.
I helped others develop book ideas, flesh out their content, pinpoint places to strengthen their manuscripts – even come up with new book ideas for them!
I learned how valuable it can be to learn from others who have the experience and know-how to help “wannabe” writers avoid time-consuming pitfalls and stay motivated so that their book not only gets written, but has the impact they want it to have.
Now, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned with you...
so you can experience that same sense of satisfaction and write the best book for you.
I’m a best-selling author and award-winning writer whose four books have sold almost 300,000 copies, plus 100,000 books in special sales.
Since then, my books have been translated into Italian and Japanese and serialized in major magazines.
As a result of my books, I secured a weekly column in The Washington Post and appeared on FOX News, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CSPAN, and Good Morning, America, among many others.
My books have also landed me speaking engagements all over the U.S., in front of the US EPA, the World Bank, and the United Nations, and as far away as China and Oman.

Despite all this success,
I don’t write books so I can sell thousands of copies.
I write books so I can achieve my mission:
to leave the world a better place.
My books have enabled me to become a thought leader and influence the public debate.
They’ve helped me establish successful businesses.
They’ve also inspired others to do more. One of the proudest, most satisfying moments I’ve ever experienced as an author came the day someone told me that my book changed his life.
That’s why I write books – and why I want to help you write your book, too.
I believe
Writing a book is one of the most satisfying & rewarding ways
to make a difference on the issues you care about.
It may be THE best way to lay out your vision for the world you want to live in and the future you hope to create.
It’s also a phenomenal way to help you build a business, become a thought leader in your field, launch a career as a speaker or social media influencer, or simply capture the lessons you’ve learned over your career.
But after writing four books myself and coaching many others...
I know first-hand how hard it is to start, finish and publish a book. I’ve developed Writers on a Mission so you won’t have to go through the “trial by fire” process I did!
why are you here?
- You’ve always wanted to write a book and you don’t know where to start
- You keep getting stalled. As terrific as your idea is, you just can’t sustain the momentum to keep your writing going
- You want to make sure that, if you invest the time it takes to write your book, it will have the impact it needs to make a difference
i totally get it
I’ve already coached writers to write, finish and publish their books on everything from education, the death penalty, and wildlife filmmaking to religion, environmental protection, clean energy, plastic in the oceans, and politics.
Now, I want to help you, too.
I’ve put together the Writers on a Mission system to start, finish and write your book so you can experience the same satisfaction and even joy I’ve experienced by becoming a published author.
