take your story from possible to published!
Is your dream to be a published writer?
Most writers won’t take the leap.
Or will you take the leap?
Will you make it real?
With Literary Coaching, you will:
– Dust off that first draft and get it ready for publication
– Learn to write consistently, every day
– Never deal with writer’s block again
– Stop redoing your first chapter because you hate it and get to the meat of the plot
– Start believing that you can write your story
– Complete your manuscript. . . instead of adding it to ten others you haven’t been able to finish
– Translate what you have in your head into words on the page
– Keep the story from sprawling out beyond control. . . and reach a satisfying end
– Learn to do research so you can stop rewriting pivotal scenes because you failed to find out how something as simple as fire works
– Learn how to move seamlessly between exposition into Deep POV for your characters
– Learn the difference between First Person, Third Person Limited, and Omniscient POV. . . and which is best for your story
– Learn how to feel good about your sentences instead of questioning every word
And most important:
Get your stories into readers’ hands!
You need a guide
My name is Daniel and I am here to help.
I know the challenges of being a writer.
I know what it feels like to be stuck behind writers block.
When I started Whimsyland, I wanted to help writers get past their biggest challenges and live their dream of being published like I have. Over the years, I’ve struggled on my own to understand the mysteries of drafting, editing, and publishing. I searched for someone to answer my questions. Now, you don’t have to.
Whether its figuring out the final scene of your book or editing the manuscript before you send it off for publication. . .
I’m here to help you make it real!

Other Services
Editing and Proofing
You’re ready to get eyes on your book. Great! Many times, an Editor costs the Earth and takes months to professionally polish and critique your story. I guarantee the same great effort at a lower price and with a four week return. Period.
I want to help you succeed.
Ghost Writing
Sometimes, getting that story stuck in your head turns out to be a lot harder than you thought it would be. Maybe? You just don’t have the time to write that guidebook or manual yourself. Ghostwriting is a great alternative.
You can write your book yourself or I can do it for you. Either way, we’ll get it written together.
Marketing “Blurb”
If you’ve never published anything yet, you may not be aware that the hard part of writing is condensing your epic story or life-changing manual into four sentences that entices your audience to turn to page 1. Back cover paragraphs, catchy adverts, and engaging synopsis all fall under the category of “Blurb”
Together, we’ll create all the blurbs you’ll ever need.
Short Story Editing
Writers often cut their teeth on short story submissions to magazines, awards programs and anthologies, or write an e-course. To make sure your content shines no matter what, I apply the same rigorous editing and proofing to your short content that I do for full-sized manuscripts at a much lower price. Great for Comics and Graphic Novels!
Is Literary Coaching Right for You?
I’m afraid of criticism
Coaching is about solutions, not criticism.
I’ve failed so much
I’m not sure if I can afford it
Whimsy
-
a thing that is fanciful or odd.
Every story starts out that way: an odd idea; a fancy; a possibility.
It grows. . . and grows. . . and grows. . . and now, you have a story brewing in your head.
Whimsy is the beginning of a dream.
Your dream.
So we take it seriously.
We’re here to guide and coach; nurture and cultivate.
Your dream deserves to be real.
And that’s what we’re here to do:
Help turn your Whimsy; your dream, into reality!
