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 12
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

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.
