"Following dreams isn't always an easy task, but when you have the right people behind you, you feel you're that much closer to where you want to be.
I'm glad I have Danie and her staff watching my back. They have always been positive and inspiring. Their clients (including myself) may be dream chasers now but with their continued guidance, we'll be dream catchers."

I have been a client of Danie Cortese Entertainment, Inc. since last summer.
I've had two previous options, but I feel that I am closer to a sale more than ever! I've never had so many submissions going on at the same time. Like
with anything, this too is a numbers game and Danie sure finds the leads.
I've had three other agents, and I find Danie the easiest to work with of them all. Danie deals with her writers on a professional level, but she also treats us like friends and equals. She makes suggestions, she returns emails promptly, and she gives good advice. I am happy that we have chosen to work with each other.

My affiliation with Danie Cortese Entertainment & Publicity Inc. has resulted in more credibility for me as a writer and more credible leads for my writing. For example, currently four of my six award-winning spec feature scripts are in the hands of producers, and several of my shorts are out as well. Some of this interest has come from leads provided by Danie, including prsonal contacts, and some of this has, I am convinced, come from other sources, such as Inktip, owing to having representation through her firm.
