I believe good writing starts with empathy because we all want to be seen and understood. Sharing in the thoughts and emotions of many different audiences has been my work for nearly 25 years. And, I’ve won some awards along the way.

On this site you’ll see just a small sample of my work. If you’d like to see more and talk about how we can work together, please email me at danarittenberry@gmail.com. I’d love to connect with you.
