Member Review
The Writers' Union is a refuge — an occasional one to be sure, but a kind of home nonetheless — for a lot of people who practise an often solitary craft. It's a place populated by people who tend to understand what that's like.
Member Profile
Dianne Young
I am, in alphabetical order, fifty-eight years old, a mother, a retired educational assistant, a widow, a writer and a yodeller. I was born and raised in Saskatchewan, albeit in many different communities. I now live in Martensville, which is a small city just north of Saskatoon.
I have been writing for children for over 25 years. My first book, The Abaleda Voluntary Firehouse Band, was published in 1990. My fifth book was published in March 2012. I was really excited about it because I first wrote that story 19 years ago! I am a member of CANSCAIP, SCBWI, the Saskatchewan Writers Guild, CCBC, TWUC, and two writing groups for children’s writers.
I love reading and writing (except about myself) and learning new things. I am easy-going and have a good sense of humour.
