Daniel Kenitz — Business Development Executive
For starters, I am *not* Dean Koontz. Yes, my name looks like a Grammarly suggestion when you type in his name. And as author of the domestic thriller THE PERFECT HOME (published January 7, 2025 from Scribner/Simon & Schuster), I wouldn't mind earning my way into the rarefied air of bestselling authors. But still: *not* Dean Koontz. Totally different guy. What keeps the lights on during my quest for literary success? Freelance writing. You may have seen me in: —Zapier —Atlassian —CreditKarma —Trello —Skillshare —ValuePenguin —GoToMeeting —Content Science Review Or you may *not* have seen me ghostwriting for TheStreet, financial blogs, real estate companies, or writing ebooks, whitepapers, and bios for C-suite executives who need to strike a balance between professional and engaging, between witty and worthwhile. A lifelong writer, I have been at the freelancing game since the Great Financial Crisis found me looking for work—at which point I thought: Hmm, let's see if I can write for money online. Turns out you can. I built myself up from penny-per-word assignments (want hiking tips, anyone?) to a full-fledged freelancer helping big-time financial companies convert readers into clients. Since then my work has been in storytelling, in one form or another. Freelancing supports my fiction habit, but ultimately, my work boils down to this: I will help you find the words to build great levers in business and in life. I'm available, so ask me how. (Dean Koontz is probably busy.)
