Bowker Biography:
Daniel Andretti

PERSISTENCE, PASSION & PATIENCE – these are three words which come to mind when describing myself. My name is Daniel Andretti, a self-published author and educator. When my first book JOY was ready for publication, one of the ‘suits’ at a book company actually told me, “Your writing style is unique. I have never seen anything like it.” I was then told that I should really ‘copy’ somebody else’s style until I get popular then write like myself. Since that time I’ve researched, struggled and was persistent enough to publish two books on my own and create my own web site (www.dansbooks.org) so that you can easily obtain one of my original unique tales.

My passion for the written word also carries over into my destiny as educator at Elizabeth High School in Elizabeth, NJ. I have been given control of both student based publications, “THE EHS VOICE (newspaper) and “THE MIND’S EYE (literary magazine). Together with my students we have increased publication, accepted more staff members and increased circulation while also publishing on-line. I was also given the “Union County Teacher’s Recognition” award in 2002 and was recently named to “Who’s Who In America” (2004).

My patience comes not only in trying to educate America’s youth when there are numerous factors that take the attention away from learning, but in dealing with the publishing ‘suits’. This is a term I have lovingly created for any businessperson who cares nothing about true expression/literature but only profit. I take pride in the fact that I write because I love to tell a unique story – one that will make you think. My only hope is for enough people to read my tales and tell me what they thought or felt. Ideally I will brake even so that I may create another adventure. Enjoy!
