Diana Reid

Diana Reid is a Sydney-based writer, who graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Arts (First Class Hons Philosophy)/Laws. In January 2020, her career in theatre was off to a promising start: the musical she co-wrote and produced, 1984! The Musical!, debuted and she was set to direct and write theatre performances in Sydney and over to the Edinburgh Fringe. When COVID-19 saw the cancellation of global theatre, she decided she’d spend her time in shutdown writing a manuscript. Diana was the winner of the 2022 Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Australian Novelist award, and Love & Virtue, her debut novel, received the 2022 MUD Literary Award.
