Diana Jane ("Dee")
In her own words:
"Always an amateur editor, I surprised myself in 2017 by earning a Masters Degree in Literacy, which confirmed my personal understanding of professional proofreading.
"Editing others' written material is time-consuming work; and becoming familiar with established rules of syntax is primary. There is, though, the ancillary activity of adapting when new grammatical styles emerge.
"I believe that proceeding to read something despite any ungrammatical elements is fun in its swiftness, and doing so reminds me that appreciating colloquialisms, neologisms, and acquisitions from myriad varieties of language sources surpasses the tedium of editing. Sometimes I abandon the impulse to edit because fast reading is joyous."
Miss Adorabibble
From childhood on, Jobeth Stanfill (pen name "Miss Adorabibble") created unique creatures and fantasty miniature worlds. In addition to writing children's books, she enjoyed restoring abandoned dollhouses, needle felting mice, and painting realistic silicone and vinyl reborn dolls.
She was a devoted mom, wife of a retired veteran, and a proud grandmother. Before passing away in summer of 2022, she wrote two beautiful kids' books, which DeepRichDirt has been honored to publish for her. Her warm heart lives on through her stories.
Nate Crew
Before he found poetry in the "deep rich dirt", he was kind of a jackass. I mean, he's still kind of a jackass now, but at least a more poetic one.
​
Nate Crew is tree grower and a writer living in North Carolina with his wife Amanda and their two sons. His family runs Crew Family Orchards, and he manages DeepRichDirt Publishing LLC as owner of the trademarked DEEP RICH DIRT brand.

Little Niecie
Denise (a.k.a. "Little Niecie") is, in her own words, "a woman who tries her best to imitate Christ; a wife, mother and grandmother who loves deeply; an all-around artist who uses her gifts to encourage and build up others. Her talents are gifts so she can deal with all she has had to deal with in her life, and continues to deal with."
​
Little Niecie is known for her children's work, The Story of the Flower.
