Daniela Blei

DEPUTY DIRECTOR & HEAD OF EDITORIAL SERVICES

Daniela Blei is a historian, editor, and writing coach whose clients have published with Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, UNC, the University of California, Routledge, and other leading presses. For more than a decade, she has helped scholars at every career stage find their biggest ideas, sharpen their arguments, and reach the audiences their work deserves. A practicing writer and editor, Daniela has published in The Atlantic, Smithsonian Magazine, New Republic, Los Angeles Review of Books, and elsewhere. She also writes and edits for the Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR), a magazine and website that covers emerging ideas and approaches to pressing global challenges. She holds a Ph.D. from Stanford, a Mellon fellowship from UC Berkeley, and taught at Reed College. As an instructor for The Thinking Writer pitch class, she helped scholars bridge the gap between academic research and public audiences. As a volunteer interpreter in the Bay Area's immigration courts, she applies that same commitment to helping others tell their stories. She works with faculty, public scholars, and institutional clients in both English and Spanish, with particular expertise at the idea development stage. She is based in California.
