Diana Elliott
Diana Elliott wanted to be a journalist until two rounds of work experience in Year 10 killed the romance. She studied economics/commerce and worked for several years in a corporate environment before having an epiphany listening to ‘Once in a lifetime’ from Talking Heads (‘How did I get here’...etc etc). She studied professional writing and editing (didn’t finish that either) at night, got the romance back, left her job and set up a freelance writing and editing business, having not published a thing in her life. She now works full-time as a writer helping corporate and government clients turn ‘key messages’ into stories that resonate, while scribing loosely informed opinion pieces on the side as a freelancer.

From: They must pay for one’s bitter disappointments
Michael S says:
"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays. She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise.
