Thank You Daniel Scott!

10 replies
Wanted to put in a "look here!" for Daniel in case any of you don't yet know how awesome he is.

What am I talking about? This: I've gotten in touch with Daniel several times over the past few years, and he always takes time out to 1. listen to what I have to say, 2. offer advice if needed/requested, both professional and friendly, no matter how strait-laced or outlandish my questions are.

Boy, there have been some doozies, haven't there, Daniel? <giggle>

Several times, Daniel has taken complete pieces of my copy and walked through them, paragraph by paragraph, pointing out what's good, what's bad, and offering actionable suggestions for how to make both the good and the bad better.

Yes, I know he's been a student (of Vin Montello's), yes, I know he's not been at this copywriting thing forever, but I also know he has some very valuable insights and tons of learned wisdom to share.

Daniel's awesome in my book, and I just wanted to let everyone here know.

Tina

PS: Daniel did NOT ask me to come here and write anything about him at all. But after so many "private consultations" he's freely given (as a friend), I just felt it was about time I stood up and said something about how cool he is.

    Nice going, Tinkerbell!

    While I personally think the crazy amount of kiss-assiness on this board lately has bordered on unprofessional (the only thing keeping it from total unprofessionalism is that it appears to be unsolicited kiss-assiness)...

    I think it's nice that Daniel be given his due. The kid isn't perfect by any stretch, but he blows the doors off 90% of the copywriting warriors.

    And no... he didn't ask me to say that. In fact I'm pretty sure he'll be embarrassed by it.

      Vin,

      It's exactly this kiss-assiness that inspired me to post. Wanted everyone to know there's more than one copywriter on this forum who deserved some praise and recognition.

      Daniel's always there for me, and best of all, he never laughs at me and my ideas. lol
      Not that anyone else did, but only Daniel has seen the "doozies" I mentioned above, so that's saying something, believe me.

      And while I'm at it...I want to mention you as well.

      Yes folks, Vin has looked at a piece of copy for me (as busy as he is!) and offered comments. Thankfully, that one was actually decent. Whew. lol

      I did (and still do!) appreciate it, Vin.

        There are copywriters on this (currently rather small) part of the forum who are brilliant. Without doubt.

        Thank you, Tina.

        Tina,

        Thanks for the kudos. But let's keep this on Daniel. As I tell my students and (ick) fans, let's not muddy up the board with thanking me. Just pm or email me.

        But for Daniel, I have no problem saying something public. The kid sometimes gets a bad rap on this board, mostly by guys he's passed by.

          Dan is one heck of a writer. And if you're reading this Dan... I'll address you directly... you're one heck of a writer.

    I'll join in the ass-kissiness of this thread and say Dan is the man! Not only is he a dang good copywriter, he takes time out to help others with pointers and suggestions. He always gives to-the-point advice and doesn't fluff up anything. I've thanked him several times before, but I'll do it again. Thanks Dan!

    Wow.

    Guys... thanks.

    It probably sounds kinda hokey... but I'm honestly and truly touched by this thread.

    The gesture really does mean a lot to me... so thanks... all of you.

    I don't know Daniel - have no idea what he's like as a writer.

    However, if Vin and Ross say he's good, then in my books, he must be.
