Portfolio

My work has been published in a variety of outlets, and I write mainly about books and travel as it relates to food and wine and off-the-beaten-path destinations. I enjoy writing a reported piece as much as I love crafting book reviews and profiles of interesting people. Please check out a selection of my clips below.

Shaena Stabler, Editor & Publisher, Stu News LagunaLaguna Beach, CA
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!
