Testimonials
Testimonials
I am a literary editor with over a decade of professional experience in the trade publishing industry. Dan has written a beautiful debut novel, and he has been a client of mine since 2020. I have found him to be a tremendously talented and hardworking writer. I can enthusiastically recommend him for almost any writing job, fiction or nonfiction.
Ronit Wagman, Editorial Consultant
I tried writing my own memoir, and a friend of mine said it read like 50,000 words of dry facts. After Dan got through with it, he’d transformed my memoir into 75,000 words of amazing stories. That same friend told me Dan’s rewrite made him laugh, cheer and cry for me and the love of my life, the two main characters of my life story.
Brian Presson, Founder, Capone’s Meals and One World Water, Author, The Last Capone, A Memoir
I worked with Dan to write a memoir about my father’s difficult passing. It was an emotional
project, and my own thoughts were too jumbled to write this alone. Dan spent hours on the
phone, teasing out emotions, documenting dialogue and events, and even collecting experiences
from my childhood. My father was someone you’d swap tales with over a coffee or a beer—Dan
brought him to life, beautifully.

Do you need editing help with your fiction manuscript? Do you have an outline or character sketch that requires editorial feedback before you get down to writing?
