Literary agent and former editor of non-fiction, with over six years of experience in publishing. Interested in fiction and non-fiction!
Hi, my name is Dani!
I’m an agent, editor, project manager, and creator. I love to help authors create beautiful, entertaining, and creative projects that excite a broad audience. My goal is to work with authors from diverse backgrounds to tell stories that are important to them.
I've been a voracious reader for as long as I can remember. I began my publishing career as an editorial assistant at HarperCollins Publishers, focusing primarily on highly designed non-fiction titles . I currently work at a literary agency, managing debut, established, and bestselling authors through the editorial process, and assisting clients to achieve their best work.
I love narrative non-fiction, popular culture, fashion, lifestyle, feminism, memoir, contemporary fiction, literary fiction, politics, and cookbooks.
I'd like to help you tell your story. My services include query letter review, book proposal writing and design, developmental editing, editorial assessment, and more! I look forward to hearing from you.
