Diane
Freed represents both nonfiction and fiction writers. She is
looking for nonfiction projects in the categories of
advice/relationships, spirituality, health/fitness, memoir, narrative
nonfiction, popular culture, lifestyle, women's issues, the
environment, and humor. Her fiction interests generally are
commercial and literary fiction, including women's commercial fiction.
Inspirational writing, both fiction and nonfiction, particularly
appeals to her: stories that explore the human psyche -- anything
that inspires the reader and somehow gives hope. (And, whatever
the genre, often it's the humorous touches that win her over.)
Diane has been in the book publishing field her entire career, and with
FinePrint since 2006, working closely with authors to edit and produce
their work. As a book packager in the Boston area, Diane owned
and managed an independent publishing services company, providing
editorial and production services to major book publishers, including
Addison-Wesley/Pearson, McGraw-Hill, and Harvard Business School Press.
Prior to this she was a production supervisor of trade computor
books at Addison-Wesley. At U.S. News & World Report, Diane
edited a reference book on the Vietnam War and supervised editorial
production of a book series on the human body. She has
coordinated book promotional campaigns for Time-Life Books. At
Wellesley College, Diane facilitated a book publishing collaboration
that incorporated Stone Center theory of women's development into
college texts. Diane has a B.S. in journalism from the University
of Illinois.
