Daniel De Léon

While primarily interested in fiction, screenplays, and poetry, Daniel also likes to develop concepts for episodic/serial narratives and games. He also has interests in adapting his work and telling overarching narratives across media formats.
​
As a professional, Daniel has his sights set on editorial work and would like to eventually help other storytellers publish their work independently.

Philosophy of Writing
Writing is a way of seeing, a means of contemplating ideas, making sense of life, and sharing the findings. Writing, like any art, is a gift and a skill simultaneously, a talent that must be cultivated to fully realize potential.
Professional Writing Direction
While Daniel intends to publish work, he intends to do so independently. Through online presence, he hopes to enter a community of readers and writers, form a trusted circle of beta readers (fiction) or potential collaborators (film), and build a following, however big or small.
Relevant Experiences
Daniel has been creating worlds and characters since he was in middle school; since then he has earned a professional and technical writing degree, co-written stage plays, tutored children in English, and served as a reader and editor for his alma mater's literary journal.
Intended Audience
Anyone who enjoys reading, interpreting, and following narratives across forms.
