Diane Hofkins has been a tremendous support to TLRP and its projects. She writes
not just with clarity about key messages and empathy towards her audience, but also
brings a deep understanding of educational issues and a commitment to social progress.
Combine all this with both creative imagination, reliability and knowing her way
around the media – and you have a very good partner.

I have known and worked with Diane Hofkins for over 20 years. She is a talented writer who engages the reader on any topic. As an editor she makes the copy sing off the page no matter how dry the subject. We worked together on many projects when Diane was the editor of sponsored supplements at The TES and I was deputy advertising director. We have worked together since then on Guardian projects. As an editor she brings knowledge and editorial integrity to each project, whilst enabling the commercial side to progress. Her professionalism coupled with creative approach makes her a pleasure to work with.
