Diane McTigue

Is a writer, mother of three (mostly!) adult children, and former lawyer, who divides her time between the Philly suburbs and her beloved Long Beach Island. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Boston University School of Law, Diane happily shed billable hours to become a full-time mother and chronic volunteer. In plotting her own next act, she’s recreating the wonder of her first young authors conference in 1978.

She is a member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association and a fan of Writer Unboxed conferences. Humor is her favorite coping mechanism. With two projects tucked gently in the drawer, Diane is currently working on her third manuscript.

You can find her latest musings on her Substack, Needs to Practice Self-Control *But Works Well With Others. and connect with her on Instagram @diane.mctigue.
