Danielle Bauter – Freelance Writer

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.

Danielle writes with great warmth and inclusiveness – bringing the reader into “her fold” as if they are her own family going on an intimate trip with her. She paints the natural world with exceptional beauty through her words too.
Samantha Dunn, Executive Editor, COAST MagazineSanta Ana, CA
“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 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!
