What People Are Saying
“Danielle Valenilla is a skillful writer whose work is rich with compassion, intensity, insight, and daring detail.”
— Nan Brooks, Editor
“Valenilla’s prose is authentic and tough—even dark. That’s what makes her sensitivity and humor all the more surprising and poignant. She dares to explore the lonely, heartbreaking places in the heart via her writing. She knows there’s treasure there.”
— Bill Kenley, Author of High School Runner: Freshman
“It’s often said that writers write to express emotions that are not allowed in daily conversation. Danielle Valenilla’s writing is honest, raw, and emotional and plows the landscape of those taboo topics.”
— Kurt Meyer, Author of Stardust and The Salvage Man
