Never Too Late

By Dian Greenwood

Sharing my journey from writing to publishing later in life. Never Too Late invites writers who are scared or timid, who have delayed pushing the submit button, to find the courage to begin & keep going.

Dian is one of my favorite writers here in Portland. Her novels are deep dives into family, and her presence in Portland's writing community is fierce. She's a smart cookie!
