McDougall Editorial Courses

Diane McDougall

Writer, editor, course creator

I started my love affair with words back in elementary school. (On one wall in my house hangs a piece of yellow lined paper, framed by my dad, on which my teacher proclaimed in red ink to my 8-year-old self, "Very good!")

From there, I eventually earned a journalism degree from Penn State and spent 30-plus years writing and editing for various magazines, and leading their editorial creation. Now, I combine that long-lasting affection for words with a love of coaching others in their use of words. Won't you join with me?
