EVERY STORY STARTS SOMEWHERE.

Hello! My name is Denise Schipani and I’m a writer. The little girl in that strawberry-print dress might have said the same thing if you’d asked. Even before I could actually write, I had things to say. I’ve spent my career as an editor, writer, author and essayist, and my work has appeared in too many publications to count. Need a good story well told — or a story brought to light with expert editing? Contact me.
