Dianne Beck
Dianne Beck has spent most of her career teaching students ranging from kindergarten through
adult and currently works as a high school youth director at her church. In each of these roles,

are, and to follow their passions.
Dianne’s debut young adult novel Sticks and Stones, winner of multiple awards, was inspired by
her years of teaching, where she saw how an understanding ear and relevant literature could
make a significant impact on students’ lives. She hopes young people and adults can find faith
and strength in her stories.
