Douglas Danoff

Freelance Writer / Reported Features & Essays

I’ve written for The New York Times, New York magazine, The Threepenny Review, AGNI, On Being, and Men’s Health. My work ranges from reported city pieces and cultural criticism to narrative essays grounded in firsthand reporting. I’m currently open to assignments and actively pitching new ideas.
