Hi, I’m Danae! I’ve been helping writers tell their stories for 18 years and its one of my greatest joys. 

I’ve always loved reading and learning, and I planned on being a teacher from a pretty young age. But in middle school I discovered I liked writing, and my teacher told me I had potential beyond the stuffy essays we were learning. Then one day, we did peer review on our classmates’ essays. Long after everyone else returned their papers, I was still working, all the way ’til the bell rang. That was my first time editing anything, and I’ve never stopped.

As the years went by, I never lost the desire to teach so I studied education. But more and more, words and language were becoming my passion. Friends routinely asked me to edit papers and I filled every available elective with an English class. So I went on to get a master’s in journalism. During my final internship at a newspaper, my editor encouraged me to submit something to our state’s press association awards. I chose one and didn’t think anything else about it because I’d be up against people with decades more experience than me. But I won third place for a piece about therapeutic horse riding.

When I began writing for a magazine, my articles were regularly selected as cover stories. One was even chosen as story of the year from among everything the magazine published! But my true love is helping other writers.

Today, it is my joy to help people craft their stories. I work with authors and businesses to refine their message. Businesses I work with have experienced wonderful growth and results, like the one that secured a lucrative business merger. The latest book I edited was a Pencraft Awards Best Book Winner in Summer 2023 and a Reader’s Favorite Five-star Book.

My favorite stories have changed how I think and even how I live. I believe your story can do that for someone too and I’d love to help you get there. If you’re ready to see how I can help, click here to see my services or contact me to discuss your project.
