Dianne (the mom) is a freelance editor and writer. She opened her business, The Write Help, LLC, in 1996 after working for a literary agency and a university writing center. Her clients have sold books to publishers from Scribner to The Johns Hopkins University Press. She is the co-editor of Single Women – Alive and Well!, a collection of creative non-fiction stories by and about women who have learned to be strong and happy on their own. Her tenet is that when written well, any material can be interesting.
Liz (the daughter) is a recent college graduate, with a BA in English-Literature: Film Studies. Which means she knows more about film theory, film history, and writing than she ever dreamed she would. Her aspirations are to be a television writer, screenwriter, and novelist. Favorite films include everything from Infamous to The Good Girl to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. She believes that the quality of a script can make or break a film, or television show, and that no amount of special effects can take the place of well-written dialog and a good story.
