Diana Reese: Writer & Editor
I’m a freelance writer, journalist and editor with experience doing articles, book projects, newsletters, brochures and web copy on topics ranging from Alzheimer’s disease to padded headboards. Although I’ve specialized in health and medical subjects, I’ve also covered parenting, relationships, decorating and – a personal favorite – organizing and decluttering. I wanted to become a writer because I liked telling stories and entertaining people. Now I find satisfaction in creating copy that does more than entertain but also informs, inspires and enlightens readers, whether it's a newspaper feature about an orphan from Belarus or an online slide show giving moms advice for making mornings less hectic. Freelancing gives me the opportunity to learn about new subjects. Every day may hold a surprise. Will I be interviewing a nationally known expert on genetics for a story on how to research your medical family tree? Or will I talk to a mom in Oronogo, Missouri about her ideas for creating the perfect summer day?
