I have been telling stories consistently since I was performing puppet shows in the living room as a kid. While my puppet friends and I have parted ways, I still cannot stop myself from seeking out stories and comedy - whether that's in everyday conversations or in my writing. In 2012 I began working on my own personal humor blog satirizing culture, politics, and myself. Working with kids from 2016 to 2019 also gave me an insight into young minds, helping me develop my own sense of creativity and imagination. While studying to get my degree in Writing from Eastern University, I discovered my passion for collaboration as editor-in-chief of Inklings, the college literary magazine. I also had the opportunity to write several short plays alongside the actors that would be performing in them, which was a valuable lesson in learning how to write for and with other people. I am constantly using this skill as a freelancer, balancing my own creative voice with the needs of my clients. My favorite projects have been the children's books, middle grade books, and young adult novels that I have ghostwritten. However, I can write for any age, and have written many genres, from humor, to science fiction, to fantasy, and thriller. For me, the most rewarding aspect of writing is helping others find their voices through believable characters and intriguing plots. This is not the only way to tell a story, though, as I have also helped create various funny scripts for YouTube, the stage, and other types of media. Is your story already written, you just need someone else to take a look and suggest improvements? I can edit it as well, telling you the hard truths while sticking to your vision. If you have a story you'd like to tell, feel free to reach out and I'd love to discuss how I can help. As an editor, I've worked with authors from all over the world, and am currently a freelance editor with Indigo River Publishing based in Pensacola, Florida. With Indigo River, I work as an editor and as an author coach, communicating with writers to help make sure their books are as perfect as they can be - all while sticking with their original visions. I can write at a fixed rate of $0.19 per word (for books of 10,000+ words) or $0.21 per word (for books below 10,000 words). My editing rate is around $0.11 per word, depending on how extensive the edits need to be. I can work on hourly projects too, and I estimate being able to write between 400-800 words per hour and edit between 800-1,600 words per hour.

Hi! I'm Dante. I do expert work at intermediate rates. I conducted my course studies in English Literature and have gone on to use the skills I've developed in a variety of diverse contexts. Strong writing, of course, requires a mastery of the English language, but it also requires the ability to tell compelling stories. Throughout my career, I have combined these skills to excel professionally in non-profit development; business and academic ghostwriting; and theater criticism and, among my personal projects, fiction writing; songwriting; and philosophical essays. My most valuable asset is my ability to understand, internalize, and communicate my client's vision, using adept writing and editing skills to share your message in a compelling way. While my professional experience thus far highlights specific kinds of writing, I am happy to do it all! My freelance writing career (hundreds of projects!) has taught me to quickly research, assess and emulate the conventions of many different genres and media, enabling me to adapt my own writing style to suit your needs. I hope to hear from you!
