Hi! My name is Dan. Here’s some things about me. I’m a philosophy major from the University of Melbourne because I thought it was genuinely important. I was a Secondary English teacher who considers his primary success to be helping a boy with self-harm by teaching him how to express himself with poetry. I now run an English tutoring company called the Melbourne Centre For Writing where I’m blessed to be a mentor for students aged 4 to 45. But at the ground of all this, I am a Christian writer. The two identities are inseparable; they form something new – a Christian who believes that writing is worship. I write regularly for local newspapers, representing my Pentecostal church – Australia for Christ Church in Rowville. I waded some 23,000 words into a novel before I realized I should have planned it beforehand. I was Young Australian Teen Writer in 2012, and Young Australian Christian Writer in 2020. I also have a YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Rd_ShpJsN5Ohk8L_yVT1w?view_as=subscriber
