About
Hi there! I’m Dana:
copy maven,
creative collaborator
& ghostwriter extraordinaire
INFP. Lover of tea, meditation, hot baths, dancing, reading, kpop, plants, and animals.
leaving the world better than I found it
I'm a published author and award-winning blogger, but my story is so much bigger than me.
My specialty is igniting people's intrinsic motivation.
My purpose is helping people help themselves.
My tool is writing.
I’m a writer, best known for being the creative force behind the (now retired) award-winning wedding planning blog, The Broke-Ass Bride, and author of The Broke-Ass Bride’s Wedding Guide, (Penguin Random House / Potter Style). It was It was an exhilarating ride, but after 10 years, I was ready to explore the world beyond weddings.
The thing that sucked people in, made them love my brand, and crave my content? I want to bring that magic to your online presence.
My mission is to improve the
world through wit, wisdom, and words... one client at a time.
I'm your gal!
I bring a holistic sensibility to your brand or online persona, taking in the full scope of your presence to determine the right tone and messaging for your audience and goals.
I can pump out taglines, bios, mission statements, and clever copy all day long, but... so can lots of writers.
If you're ready for a creative collaborator who brings fresh and exciting ideas to the table, to bounce ideas off of, hear expert branding and marketing advice from, and get an incredible return on your investment, look no further.
Loves: bodies of water (large & small, fresh & salt), snails, cooking, cardio dance, and forest bathing.

Dana sounds more like [client] than [client] does!
Dana is amazing! Her tone was 100% on point. We have seen a big increase in sales conversions after her revisions.
I wanted upbeat, quirky, witty copy and I got it in spades.
She's a creative genius. An ideas genie. A strategy savior! An instrumental partner in growing my brand into a million-dollar business.
Copy so good, It's uncanny
consulting so astute, it's astonishing.
Content so catchy, it's contagious
Ghostwriting so good, It's spooky
The word around town...
SUPER FUN

I'm mama to a gorgeous human, one doggie, several snails, and (never too) many houseplants.
I believe in inclusivity. I am a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and I believe Black lives and representation matter.
