About Me

A

Daniel P. Riley, Owner of Whimsyland Literary Coaching and Services, is a prolific author of fiction from the heyday of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. Once a wild child, he is now a decade-long educator and creator of engaging fiction. Daniel lives outside the city with his daughter, who he raised on his own in a happy little house in a sleepy suburb where he can dedicate his time to crafting more magical tales to excite and entertain.

Utilizing his experience as a teacher, Daniel tutors authors and provides a range of services dedicated to creative writing throughout the world, from editing novels and comic books to brainstorming these concepts into their ultimate form with each client. Since Whimsyland began in early 2022, he has worked with and successfully helped one hundred creators launch their amazing visions into the world through traditional publishing or independent publishing.

An early supporter of the “Iron Age of Media Entertainment”, Daniel has worked tirelessly to support the indie movement of authors, comic book creators, film, and editorial writers. It is his desire to see the “Iron Age” transform into a new Golden Age of Entertainment in this new and bold effort to return books, comics, TV, and film to the joyous readers and watchers around the world. Entertainment we can all be proud of.

You can find him most often engaging with fans and skeptics alike on X @misterdpriley and on the IAK Podcast on ADrinkWithCrazy’s Youtube Channel as a veteran cohost, happily enjoying glasses of whiskey and chaos while presenting new independent creators to the world every Friday Night.

What Other Creators Are Saying

When I started Whimsyland, I wanted to help writers get past their biggest challenges and live their dream of being published like I have. Over the years, I’ve struggled on my own to understand the mysteries of drafting, editing, and publishing. I searched for someone to answer my questions. Now, you don’t have to.

I have always wanted to publish what I’ve learned over the past 40 years of my piano tuning experiences.
Whimsyland provides guidance in preparing the written, audio, and video as well as marketing. I’m excited to get this out to at-home piano tuners ASAP!

We have used Mr. McG’s music preschool program for over 20 years at our child care centers, serving thousands of children. We all thought it was time to take it on the road. This new Whimsyland provides everything we need to prepare the program, market, and make it a success in a home learning environment. This was the missing piece in composing, preparing, and marketing our already successful program.
