After her mini-course, I felt more confident because I had the motivation to schedule time just for me to write, reflect, and organize my thoughts. Thank you Danielle! I’m now scheduling time each week to write. You rock!”

Danielle is simply the best — she breaks the process down in a way that makes it feel manageable. She’s also created a real community where people openly share their stories, which feels especially meaningful in these bleak times. I’m so grateful to her and to the other students, who were supportive, hilarious, and deeply inspiring.”

She provided a clear framework that helped move the idea of a book from my head onto paper. She recognizes that there are a number of fears and emotional barriers that can get in the way of writing and she creates plenty of room to address them all. I will be forever grateful for Danielle and her courses.”

And I did. But what I didn’t expect — and what you won’t find in any other screenwriting course — was Danielle’s immense generosity, encouragement, and support of me and my fellow classmates. Danielle instilled us all with a newfound confidence in—and enthusiasm for—our ideas, and our writing careers in general. I’ve never enjoyed writing as much as I have since taking her class. Run don’t walk.”

She encouraged me to go deep with my writing by being bold and giving myself permission to write about my own experiences. She gave me the permission I couldn’t give myself. Plus she’s just funny and smart, so she’s a blast to learn from.”

Description of photo: A light gray background with dark gray text. “Danielle isn’t just a writing instructor, she’s a writing doula. She is generous with her time, expertise, and support throughout the process of writing. I gained a better understanding of the technical mechanisms of writing a book as well as sincere encouragement and accountability from Danielle. I felt challenged and empowered in the best ways, and found true connection with my classmates. I highly recommend her sessions if you feel the pull to write and need a safe space to explore it.”

Description of photo: A pink background with gray text. “Danielle is one of the best teachers I have ever known, and I teach for a living! Her authenticity and commitment to the craft exceeded my wildest expectations. This course unlocked something for me that I am still wrapping my mind around. Do it.”
