edit data

Passionate about stories from a young age, Daniel Fliederbaum spent the entirety of their first-grade year too embarrassed of their bad handwriting to pick up a pencil and actually write. Thanks to the wonders of digital word processing, six-year-old Daniel was able to complete their writing assignment and hasn't stopped typing ever since. Now that they have a Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children and Young Adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, they're crafting even more emotional and imaginative tales than before.

When they aren’t writing, Daniel likes to spend time with friends, with their cat, and gorging themself on a steady diet of young adult fantasy, Japanese anime and Pokémon games. Follow them on Bluesky at @fireandpai ...more

Daniel Fliederbaum liked Mathew T's review of Smash the World's Shell: "The main characters reeled me in and kept me hooked all the way through the story, and this was a huge rollercoaster of a story! And the ending was extremely fulfilling, all in all, good story."
