B. Diane Martin is an attorney and founder of several technology startups.
She is currently an officer of Readercon and has supported Readercon for 30 consecutive cons in most capacities (but always hotel liaison), including ConChair more times than she wants to count. She is extremely honored to be included in the Hugo nominated The Bakery That Men Don’t See (Supporting the Otherwise/James TipTree, Jr. Award) and has been a World Fantasy Award nominee (Special Award, Non-Professional) for her work with Readercon. Diane has been a panelist at several WorldCons as well as other conventions in the areas of law, science, codes of conducts, safety, cooking and other important topics.
Her work in intellectual property leads her to encourage all the authors, editors, and artists that she’s had the opportunity to work with over the years at Readercon to name a literary executor in their will.
