First-Timer Success Stories

A $500,000 Book Deal
Cody McFadyen had never been published. But he had great talent and a promising manuscript. After working with Diane, he received a $500,000 book deal from Bantam. His first book, Shadow Man, became an international bestseller. His third book, The Darker Side, will be published in September 2008.

A Featured Book on ABC-TV
A prominent researcher brought Diane in as a collaborator to help him write a book based on a federally funded study of divorced families. The book, Divorced Dads: Shattering the Myths (Tarcher/Putnam), became the subject of a 20/20 report by John Stossel and went on to be used as a legislative tool throughout the country.

A TV Show
A retired Special Agent for the US Fish & Wildlife Service had a story of danger, courage, and justice. Diane helped her craft a first-rate book proposal, which got her a contract with The Lyons Press. The Discovery Channel picked up the book, A Hunt for Justice: The True Story of a Woman Undercover Wildlife Agent, for a new television series to air in early 2009.

A Strong Seller
A Nobel Peace Prize-winning physician hired Diane to make his book proposal more reader friendly and marketable. Based on the proposal, New Horizon Press published the book, What’s a Parent to Do? Straight Talk on Drugs and Alcohol. The book sold out of its first printing and is now in its second one.
