Your Teacher

Hi, I’m Daniel. I’m a writer, teacher, PhD researcher, and book editor. I create easy-to-implement techniques that help you master the craft of fiction.

I’ve given lectures on plot at the AWP conference and other writing festivals around the US, and my work has been read at the Iowa Writers Workshop. My fiction has won the Hodges prize, the Toni Brown scholarship, and I’ve published short stories and essays in many journals. In my regular life, I teach advanced writing skills at a great university.

Since I started teaching online, I’ve worked with hundreds of writers as a coach and teacher. Over two-thousand writers subscriber to my newsletter, “Writing Related.”

I’m currently working with a publisher on a novel set in Taiwan: it involves unhappy English teachers and a ghost.
