Diane Selkirk
Freelance Writer
Welcome to my website. I'm an independent writer and photographer based out of Vancouver, BC. Writing is a way of indulging in my curiosity about the world I live in. It's more than typing though, writing and researching gives me the excuse to delve into subjects in a way that most of us never have time for. I also get to ask those really juicy questions - the kind my mother said were impolite.
I search out stories wherever I find myself and have recently written about where to eat during the 2010 Olympics, sail making, pregnancy and the prison system and urban bee keeping. I'm coauthor of The Vancouver Island Book of Everything and my stories have appeared in publications that include Reader's Digest, Men's Journal, The Washington Post, Seattle P-I, The Guardian, Forbestraveler.com and More.ca. My Home [Eco]nomics blog (where I discuss everything from potato mashers to greenwashing) in Vancouver’s Granville magazine was recently nominated Best Blog in the Canadian Online Publishing Awards.
Editors say I'm easygoing and professional to work with and they repeatedly assign me stories that inform and entertain their readers. I also love taking on new challenges and working with new publications - so let me know what you need.
-Diane
