Diane Hall works across a few different industries. Her work in the third sector involves training people to write effective bids and helping small charities compete against larger ones. It's a passion of hers to level the playing field in whatever way she can. As well as helping people create funding bids, she also works as a grant administrator and assessor for a number of funding programmes, and therefore gets to see things from the other side of the fence, so to speak. Diane is also the owner of The Writing Hall. As an experienced book editor and publisher and literary consultant, she offers assisted publishing services, and delivers a continuous wealth of advice and support to authors. Lastly, Diane also uses her training and experience of forensic linguistics to run various crime-writing and crime-fighting events across Yorkshire.
