Emerging writer with a background in Economics and Business Administration, currently managing an international student services office.
Despite my professional commitments, my passion for storytelling has never waned.
I write in a narrative, immersive style, and recently completed a 200-page novel set in medieval kingdoms, exploring themes of power, identity, and fate.
I've also written four short film screenplays that delve deep into the human condition:
“What If It Never Happened,” “What If It Wasn’t a War,” “Journey to Eternal Love,” and “The Final Moment.”
These stories are crafted to move, challenge, and linger in the soul.
I believe in the power of storytelling to connect worlds and voices, and I'm here to grow, collaborate, and bring bold ideas to life.

Hi, Diana Ateyeh. Welcome to the community. Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world. Producers, directors, other writers, actors, and more. www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...
Stage 32 had a live Community Open House last week. It'll also help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros. You can watch the recording here: www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-july-community-open-house
You could post your work on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your work on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)
I suggest adding a profile picture of yourself. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you. You can upload a picture by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Update profile picture."

Welcome to Stage 32, Diana Ateyeh! I’m Ashley Smith, the Head of Community here, and I’m so glad you’re part of our creative space.
Your storytelling voice is already so clear, grounded in emotional truth and bold thematic exploration. A 200-page medieval novel paired with four deeply human short film scripts shows incredible dedication and range, especially while managing such a demanding career. It’s inspiring to see how you’ve kept your passion front and center.
Since you’re writing both prose and screenplays, I recommend joining conversations in both the Screenwriting and Authoring & Playwriting Lounges (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting and https://www.stage32.com/lounge/playwriting).

Hey Diana! I would love to know more about your medieval kingdom novel! Also how do you modernize stories in time periods as far back as that? Or do they still just talk like Shakespeare lol.

@Hi Nakoa! Thank u for your interest. My medieval kingdom novel blends authentic historical details with modern emotional depth, so the characters feel timeless yet relatable. The dialogue is crafted to be clear and engaging, without losing the charm of the era more heart than Shakespearean “thou”s and “thee”s. I’d be happy to share more about it in future ✨️
