Autorenporträt

DIANNA BORSI O'BRIEN is a gifted story teller who started out as a reporter at a small newspaper in South Carolina in 1987, with subsequent work as a reporter at the St. Joseph News-Press and night city editor at the Messenger-Inquirer of Owensboro, Kentucky. She taught English in Busan, Korea and also spent two years as a faculty editor at the Columbia Missourian, a community newspaper affiliated with the University of Missouri. Today she's a freelance writer and an adjunct instructor at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, where she received her master's degree in 1993. Dianna is thrilled that she still wakes up every morning excited about reporting, researching and writing, whether the topic is Moroccan cooking classes, package design for pet food, gas-liquid chromatography or local businesses like ABC Labs, now EAG Labs. Her next book project will look at Columbia's historic homes and how they tell the story of the city's development.
