I'm Dana Sterneman, a Los Angeles-based writer and reader, actively querying my latest novel. 

​

I've been writing since I was a teenager, but my self-insert novel attempts and angsty dear diary entries have transitioned over the years into Speculative Fiction novels and poetry with teeth (yes, some of it is still very angsty, but can you blame me?).

 

As a bisexual woman raised bicoastally, community is immensely important to me. In 2024, I founded the virtual book club, Book Recs & Banter, bringing women across the country together to discuss literature. ​​​

 

As an advocate for all things bookish, I'm a proud supporter of my local library, and I hope to one day lose myself fully in a book or among the stars. I'm not too picky.
