Danielle wrote for the New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, Forbes, and the Chicago Tribune Magazine before joining LGR in 2002. Her novel, Parked, published in 2020.

Books she rereads for love: I Capture the Castle, Happy All the Time, Jane Eyre, Devil in the White City, Into the Wild.

Audiobooks that she’s recently listened to (in the car) on rainy days: When You Reach Me, Naked, The Secret Garden, Born a Crime.

Her clients tend to be oppositional but reasoned, serious but amused—preferring their rabbit holes deep.

Her taste is reflected in the journalism and narrative nonfiction she’s sold, e.g. Deep, by James Nestor, and its natural follow-up, the New York Times’ bestseller, Breath; a cultural history of our magnificent bodies, Vagina Obscura, and another about those same magnificent bodies under water, Why We Swim; a refusal to be grammatically cornered, Semicolon; a refusal to be artfully ignored, Broad Strokes…or bored, MCU; and a bright finger in the dam of cyber insecurity, This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends (a Financial Times book of the year).

To offset the Victorian in her, she signs funny books, e.g. Skymaul: Happy Crap You Can Buy From a Plane; or Minnesota-Book-of-the-Year nominee, The Annie Year, an ensemble novel that blurs heartland and heartburn; or Mark Kurlansky’s Cheesecake, a novel of noshing on 86^th street; or How to Win Friends & Influence Fungi, by the smarty-pants behind Nerd Nite.

Of course, she must eat, too… She represents an incredible stable of chefs, restaurateurs, and food/ag-thinkers—many of them IACP and Beard Award winners—including Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky’s New York Times bestselling Run Fast Eat Slow; Bryant Terry’s Afro-Vegan; Mark Bittman’s new How To Cook Everything titles; Irene Yoo’s Soju Party; Sonoko Sakai’s Wafu Cooking; Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski’s State Bird Provisions; and Brandon Jew’s Mr. Jiu’s in Chinatown.

Other clients scratching away on forthcoming novels, histories, narratives, and stories-in-pictures include Kirk Lombard, Katie Gaddini, Kathryn VanArendonk, Katie Arnold, Philip Maciak, Laura Mayer, Alyson Dutemple, Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, Sam Corbin, Meredith Arthur, Brad Rassler, Leslie Pariseau, Avi Steinberg, Stephanie Ash, Geoff Herbach, Jonathan Shedler, Caroline Kahlenberg, Chris Colin, Gerard Choucroun, Elizabeth Block, Georgia Freedman, Nick Quah, Ariella Elovic, and Mark & Catharine Burhenne.

Danielle is based in the agency’s California office.
