DIANE FLACKS is a writer/performer in theatre, TV, radio, and fiction.

She can currently be heard in your car as CBC radio's national parenting columnist, and as a regular contributor to Definitely Not the Opera. Her book, Bear With Me, What They Don't Tell You About Pregnancy and New Motherhood was published by McClelland & Stewart, and she adapted it into a hit solo show, a Canadian tour, and for a performance at the CBC TV Winnipeg Comedy Fest.
