About Diana
Diana Page Jordan Bio
Diana Page Jordan’s career is a collage of on-the-air, on-camera, on stage, and online accomplishments. She’s on-the-page, too – Diana’s stories have been published in a half-dozen anthologies like A Cup of Comfort for Writers, and in numerous national magazines, such as Writers Digest and The Costco Connection, and she was the ghostwriter of a memoir for the ex-wife of a pedophile. Diana was the Program Director for the Willamette Writers Conference in 2010 and 2011, co-creating classes and introducing social media for its thousand attendees.
Diana has contributed to the books of New York Times Best-Selling authors Cheryl Strayed, Chuck Palahniuk, Chelsea Cain and others during the eight years she was in – what The Oregonian newspaper called – The Hottest Writing Group in Portland. While in the group, she penned her memoir, BookMark: From Mitch Albom to Moon Unit Zappa, How I Saved My Life by Interviewing Authors I’ve Known (And Sometimes Loved), scheduled to be published in 2020.
As an award-winning news anchor and reporter, Diana has covered stories ranging from the eruption of Mount Saint Helens to Northern New York whiteouts; from the miraculous survival of a preemie to the funeral of a detective who perished in the downing of TWA Flight 800; from riots to elections to books.
Diana has interviewed thousands of authors for 800 Associated Press Radio Network stations, XM Satellite, ABC and CBS TV stations, and other media. She even convinced BN.com in 2001 to post her audio author interviews on the Meet the Writers page, which, at the time, was a written Q & A. With her BS in Journalism and Communications as the springboard, Diana’s mission is to communicate the truth, while educating, entertaining and inspiring audiences.
