Welcome.

I am a freelance writer and content creator based in California. I specialize in travel, books, and profiles of interesting people.

My essays, interviews, reviews, and reported pieces have been published in both print and online publications including Atlas Obscura, ELLE, Budget Travel, Ms. Magazine, the Orange County Register, and COAST Magazine.

As a freelance writer, I thrive on finding new and unique angles and am meticulous about meeting deadlines. And I’ll do (almost) anything for a story– I’ve flown from an aerial swing in Brazil, sampled fried insects in Mexico, and fought my fear of heights as I trudged my way up 300 spiral steps to Sacre Coeur’s dome in Paris. Every challenge sparks my desire to learn more, see more, experience more.

I also enjoy collaborating with clients who need their ideas transformed into words. I have a passion for telling compelling stories and my ideas are limitless. I’ve worked with a variety of individuals and companies who are seeking someone who is passionate about their craft. If you have a project that you’d like help with, let’s discuss.

Christmas came early this year, as today I receive Christmas came early this year, as today I received a care package from Elizabeth City, a charming small town in North Carolina. Although I haven't yet been there, it is at the top of my list of places to visit once it is safe to travel again. Thank you so much to @visitecity for your generosity, as well as to the wonderful small businesses for your gifts. I'm looking forward to enjoying coffee from @muddywaters.nc, a sweet potato cookie from @thesweeteasy_nc, soap from @skyssweetsoaps, a candle from @rivercitycrafts, and a book from @moaelizcity. Also, I loved the notecards with artwork by Holly Cole Luke (@hollycoleluke_art ).

    “Would that every freelance writer had such a talent for a nice turn of phrase, the Swiss clock precision of meeting deadlines and the amenable attitude towards suggested improvement that Danielle commands. That would make every editor’s life a dream.”

  • Allene Symons, Author of Aldous Huxley’s HandsAllene Symons, Author of Aldous Huxley’s HandsSanta Ana, CA

    Danielle was a great help to me before my book launch in so many ways. She designed a website and even solved the problem of incorporating several complicated graphics I wanted to include. She also helped with press releases and provided overall hand-holding, and she was always responsive when I had questions. That meant a lot to me too. I recommend her highly!
