Meet Diane

Diane M. Hotten-Somers is a published author, educator, and scholar of gender, culture, and the media. With a focus on centering voices and stories that have lived on the margins of society, Diane has published scholarship and lectured on the intersection of gender, culture, and the media, exposing how past and contemporary American women and female popular artists reclaim women’s agency and power through their work and artistry.

As a writing instructor with over 25 years of experience, Diane translates her scholarly interests into her teaching by empowering her students to find their own unique, powerful voices and stories through self-reflection and development of their writer’s craft. Together, her work as a writer and consultant aims to bring forth stories and writers that speak currently unheard, important truths.

What Clients Are Saying:

“At every stage of writing, Diane shows up to facilitate her student's goal vision. Defining the focus, designing a structure that delivers pace and meaning with impact, and developing compelling examples. Whether a college essay, an analytical essay, an argument or a creative piece, she shares her generous spirt, tremendous intellect, discerning ear and diverse tools so that students emerge with a piece they are confident about and with skills to draw upon independently in the future.
