skill, experience, warmth

Biography

Diane Connell was born and educated in New Zealand and has lived and worked in Japan, France and the UK. She began her writing career in a newspaper office in Tokyo before becoming an advertising copywriter and writing for the international non-profit sector. For many years she lived in Paris, where she began writing as a novelist. She later moved to London, where her first two books, Julian Corkle is a Filthy Liar and Sherry Cracker Gets Normal, were published under the name of D.J. Connell. She now lives in Sydney.

What people say about Diane Connell and her courses:

Fantastic teacher, joyful, relaxed and determined to bring out the best in us all. She kept the group giving and exploring and working hard but for a good reason as she found gold in us all. 

Diane’s course is perfect for taking a formless idea and whipping it into shape - you’ll come away with a workable structure and outline, plus an idea of how much you should be writing per day to flesh it out.

Diane Connell is an excellent writing tutor with a store of guidance, practical tips and inspiring exercises.

Diane is unfailingly supportive and confidence-boosting; helps you focus floaty ideas on form and structure. Genuinely excited for your ideas. 

Absolutely fantastic course for a first time or even an experienced writer. Everyone was able to get something out of the course and I’m amazed at how much I was able to get done through the exercises Diane took us through. Would highly recommend! Thank you!
