Hello! My name is Dannielle (she/her). I am a writer and freelance editor with a lifelong love of stories, especially children’s literature and fantasy. Some of my hobbies include reading, writing, hiking, photography, and petting neighborhood cats.

I have a B.A. in International Relations and completed a Certificate in Feature Film Writing from UCLA Writers’ Extension Program, interning as a screenplay analyst for a Hollywood film production company. After completing the Professional Sequence in Editing from UC Berkeley Extension, I edited everything from fiction, web copy, a financial newsletter, essays, serialized stories translated from Chinese to English, and more.

In 2021 I packed up my bags and moved from California to London. I started Inkstone Editorial and now offer editing services in both American and British English. Whether you’re sending your novel off to a prospective agent or need a blog post edited, you’ve come to the right place. Inkstone Editorial offers a variety of editing services from line editing to developmental editing and more. Head over to the Services page to learn more about what Inkstone Editorial can do for you.
