Tina D.

Ghostwriter, editor and publicist with EPIC list of contacts

I started my career as a stand up comedian and it led me to be one of the youngest syndicated columnists in the country; an amazing job I enjoyed for seven years. I then had the honor of working on Capitol Hill as a Communications Director. I've hosted three-hour live talk shows at SiriusXM and have been a political pundit on cable news. I've written for The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Los Angeles Times, Mother Jones, USAToday and many others. I'm the 2025 recipient of the PEN America/Jean Stein award for Oral History. As a consultant, I have experience working with different types of clients with various levels of abilities and goals. Whether you want to launch a campaign, write a book, punch up a script, or simply want to feel more comfortable in front of a crowd--I can help! Writing samples available upon request.
