Writing Portfolio
2022

2. Hi, I’m Dane!
I’m a published author, a freelance
writer, a book blogger, a radio show
host, a poet and a musician. Nice to
meet you!
I’ve been freelancing full-time since
2017, after quitting my job at a
marketing agency as a social media
marketer.
Writing and reading are my passions.
Let me put that passion to work for
you.

3. What I Do
First and foremost, I’m a writer. I have 11
books on the market (and more coming soon),
with an average rating of 3.94/5 from 300+
reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
Before freelancing, I worked for six years as a
social media marketer and so I have a good
grasp of digital marketing techniques.
I’ll happily write about anything and in both US
an UK English, but I also specialise in three
main verticals:
Publishing // Marketing // Technology

4. What I Charge
I’m happy to work either with an hourly rate or
per 100 words. Where possible, I prefer to work
with my hourly rate, but I’m flexible. My prices
remain frozen for existing and previous clients
at the rate they were at when we first started
working together.
PER HOUR:
£37.50 GBP // €45 EUR // $50 USD
PER 100 WORDS:
£4.50 GBP // €5.50 EUR // $6 USD

5. Sample Work

Publishing Addict // Twitter for Authors (Guest Post)

8. What People Say
“Dane helps us with marketing campaigns, book launches, and
excellent emails that have resulted in long-term engagement with
our mailing list. I highly recommend him as a professional who has
proven to be reliable, intelligent, knowledgeable and talented.”
– Cydney O’Sullivan, 16 Times Bestselling Author
“Dane is a pleasure to work with and I will definitely do so again in
the future. In his role as a ghost writer, he’s very easy going and
contributes positively to discussion. This really helped me to clarify
my thinking, enabling me to focus on the points that I wanted to
make. Subsequently, he did a great job finessing my thoughts whilst
still making it sound ‘authentically me’. ”
– Alex Whitbread, CEO of Alexander Michael

9. Why You Should Hire Me
I’m good at what I do, which is why I’m able to charge what I charge. You get what you
pay for.
I only apply for jobs that I’m passionate about. One of the perks of being a freelancer and
being your own boss is that for every job listing, you’re interviewing the client as much as
the client is interviewing you. If I’ve applied for a job that you’ve posted, it’s because I
genuinely believe I can help.
Plus my co-worker (Biggie) is very demanding and he keeps asking me for treats.
