My name is Dana Pittman. I'm a USA Today and International Amazon Bestselling author, developmental editor, professional plotter, and the Chief Storyteller around these parts. I'm the teller of tales, spinner of words, slowly exploring the truth between the lines. I'm a story structure geek fascinated by love in life and on the page (or device, depending on how you love to read). I have over 100 novels published under multiple pen names in several genres--contemporary romance, romantic suspense, a political thriller, and paranormal romance. I've plotted and edited hundreds of novels by Amazon Top 100, USA Today, and New York Times bestselling authors. And I'm always looking for ways to grow as a writer so that I can evolve as an editor. Off the page, I'm married to my high-school sweetheart for over twenty-five years. Together, we live in Houston with our three adult children, son-in-love, a diva dog--who doesn't know she's a dog, a grand-pup, and Niko, who's turned our quiet house into his playground. š¶ If you made it this far, I saved a gem for you. I'm truly proud to say is... I'm a holding place for your novel until you successfully type The End. I'm firm but compassionate. I'll hold you accountable for your goals, and I'll be your biggest cheerleader. Because I believe your story matters.
"Working with Coach Dana has been nothing short of life-changing. Before meeting her, I struggled to bring my writing dreams to life, feeling overwhelmed and full of self doubt. From our very first meeting, Dana was patient with all my questions and helped me see my potential. After working with her for just one year, the strategies and techniques she taught me have paid off in ways I never imagined. I went from never writing a book to publishing five books in one year, something I couldnāt have dreamed of doing just a year ago. But Dana isnāt just a fabulous teacher; sheās also a cheerleader for my life. She cares deeply about our success, showing genuine empathy and encouragement when life gets tough. Her words often move me to tears because they come straight from her heart and remind me to keep going. Dana has helped me become not only a better writer but also a better version of myself, the version Iāve always wanted to be. Beyond Danaās incredible coaching, the community sheās built is the warmest and most encouraging Iāve ever been a part of. Itās a safe space where dreams are nurtured, and you feel supported by so many people every step of the way. If youāre looking for someone with immense knowledge, someone who will champion your goals, care about your success, and help you grow in ways you never imagined, Coach Dana is the mentor you need. Sheās not just a coach, sheās a fearless leader. I wouldnāt be where I am today without her, and I canāt recommend her highly enough."
