about being an author since first grade. Since then she has written, co-written, or
contributed to thirty-five books. Her daily devotional books include The One Year On
This Day (which won her the 2006 Writer of the Year Award at the Write-to-Publish
Conference), The One Year Women of the Bible (Portuguese version available),

Designed for Devotion: A 365-Day Journey from Genesis to Revelation (Selah Award

Dianne has also published hundreds of articles, guest blog posts, newspaper features,
stories for compilation books, Bible studies, and one poem. Her work has appeared in
Focus on the Family, Guideposts, The Quiet Hour, LIVE, The Christian Communicator,
and on several websites and online periodicals including More to Life, Christianity
Today, and CBN.com. Since 2013, her favorite writing project each year has been
sharing her faith journey as a writer for Mornings with Jesus, a daily devotional book
published annually by Guideposts.
Dianne is a CLASS graduate and a member of Advanced Writers & Speakers
