Communications Team

Diana Ceres enjoys helping others tell their stories in the most compelling way possible. She edits a variety of financial and technical communications for Blu Pagoda’s clients, including Silicon Valley Bank, Northwestern Mutual, PagerDuty, and Anaplan. Diana works on a variety of projects for Blu Pagoda, ranging from equity downgrade notifications and author bios to healthcare and financial reports, market insights, marketing emails, and case studies. She also takes on the occasional writing project for Blu Pagoda when needed and is proficient in Adobe PDF markup and Microsoft Office. While working as a senior editor for Greenleaf Book Group, Diana helped some of their first-time authors hit the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists. Prior to Greenleaf, she headed the submissions team for Foxhead Books. 

Diana has also worked for corporate advertising departments—copyediting proposals, reports, marketing and social media collateral, white papers, and company blogs for heavy hitters like Charles Schwab, Booz Allen, and DXC Technology (FKA Computer Sciences Corporation). She is currently braving the quirky weather in Topeka, Kansas, where she spends her time coaching new authors, ghostwriting memoirs and children’s books, and editing an array of publications and marketing collateral for Blu Pagoda and her other clients.

Diana has a master’s degree in foreign languages and literature from George Mason University and a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and business administration from the University of Tennessee at Martin. A seasoned communications professional, she brings more than 20 years of editorial and publishing experience to the group. 

When she’s not polishing someone else’s prose, you can find her curling up with a good mystery, watching crime dramas on Netflix, and spoiling her cats, Jupiter and Sushi, who have trained her to feed them on command.
