I help people turn their expertise and experiences into books worth reading.

Ghostwriter · Editor · Writing Coach · Publishing Guide
Diana Holquist

Publishing is opaque and constantly shifting.

I’ve spent twenty years inside it, from every seat at the table.

I’ve written and published six of my own books with Hachette Book Group and a children’s book with Penguin Random House. I’ve gotten starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and have been translated into five languages. I’ve ghostwritten 36 titles and edited 22 more. 

Food for thought: Most people who help you write a book have never sold one. Most people who edit or sell books have never written one. 

Writing a book for your business?

My ghostwriting, editing, and publishing studio takes founders, executives, and experts from idea to the deal or, if desired, the self-published book.

Preserving a life story?

Bespoke memoirs and personal and family histories, private heirlooms or for publication.

Want to learn how books really get made?

I teach workshops and speak to groups about how to get their books into the world.

A book is a serious investment of money, time, and trust. Ask me anything.
