I’m Danielle, and I’m a humor writer, editor, and freelance dog petter.
My short humor has been published by the New Yorker, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Reductress, The Belladonna, Points in Case, Slackjaw, and Weekly Humorist. My unfunny writing can be found in a whole bunch of other places.
My newest book is out now: Deep-sea Creeps: A Field Guide to Terrible Ex-boyfriends (As Sea Creatures)
Deep-sea Creeps takes you on an expedition through some of the most mystifying exes, from The Self-Proclaimed “Nice Guy” to The Egomaniac and even The Ex Who Wanted To Break Up (But Wanted You To Do It)—all complete with 19th century illustrations. You can order a copy from your favorite indie bookstore or mega retailer.
My cowritten book, Jokes To Offend Men is also out now and was inspired by the viral McSweeney’s piece “Jokes I’ve Told That My Male Colleagues Didn’t Like”. Vulture named it the #2 comedy book of 2022, and New York Magazine classified it as “highbrow brilliant” in its Approval Matrix. You can get a copy from many of the usual places you’d suspect, including here and here!
What else? I studied journalism at a top party school and had a great time. Now, I’m a senior commerce editor at BDG (formerly Bustle Digital Group), which means I can tell you everything you never wanted to know about socks, sheets, and meat thermometers.
