Diane Shipley

I have been a journalist for over a decade, specialising in health, culture and entertainment, and joined the online team at HELLO! in 2019.

In my time with the site, I've reported on breaking royal news, interviewed VIPs and covered such major events as the Queen's Jubilee and King Charles' coronation.

Born in Australia and raised in the UK, I started my career working for the UK's largest blog network and have since written for a range of national and international media, including The Guardian, The Washington Post, The Times, The Los Angeles Times, Glamour, Vice, Elle and New York Magazine.

I have also contributed to books, including essay collection Filled With Glee (Smart Pop Books) and several editions of the US writing guide Novel and Short Story Writer's Market (F + W books). Alongside my work, I recently pursued an MA in Creative Nonfiction, graduating with distinction in 2023.
