Dani Nuchereno writes stories that explore the art of becoming yourself (preferably while kissing someone else). She has multiple book-related tattoos alongside her passport stamps, because the best stories leave a permanent mark.
Dani has an undergraduate degree from Harvard University’s Extension School. She leads TGIF, a weekly generative writing group open to writers everywhere. When not writing, she can be found teaching public speaking, reading (of course), and playing board and video games.
Dani was born in Seattle and previously lived in Kagoshima, London, Koblenz, and Brooklyn. She currently resides in Buffalo, NY with her husband and more stuffed pandas than anyone could ever need. One of her earliest memories is reading Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham with her mom.
