About

About Daniel J. Hogan - I’m a freelance writer, a podcaster, a photographer (to some extent) and a geek. I live in Lansing, Michigan. Want more information? View my Resume and Writing Samples. I am also on LinkedIn.

 

The photo of me in the sidebar was taken by Ray Hernandez, the photo above was taken by Becky Johns, and the photo for my favicon was taken by Andrea Kerbuski.

I am the geek half of Ginger and the Geek, author of The Magic of Eyri, and I draw the comic, Clattertron.

I also teach adult education classes on blogging, WordPress, and social media (I teach for Michigan State University’s Alumni Association Evening College). I’m available for one-on-one tutoring or workshops. Contact me for more information.

Podcasts

The Magic of Eyri is based on my novel of the same name. I write the scripts, which are adapted from the original novel, and I do most of the character voices myself.

 

 

 

 

 

Ginger and the Geek is a comedy talk show I co-host with Kat Cooper. We interview guests and talk about what is going on around Lansing, Michigan. I have a blog for Ginger and the Geek called Geek Speak. We occasionally perform sketch comedy, which I write.

Internet Writing

My online writing has covered a wide variety of areas: feature articles for Lansing Capital Gains, restaurant reviews, movie reviews, a weekly fantasy hockey column for Illegal Curve, blogs about science fiction and fantasy for Elder Signs Press, a blog on urban living for TEDx Lansing, a blog on How to Speak Geek for CiesaDesign, and a blog on plaid in film and TV for Plaidurday to list just a few.

Links to more samples of my freelance articles can be found on my Writing Samples page.

I am a contributing writer for The Idler, an online magazine with the motto “Refusing to apologize for the things we enjoy.” ‘Nuff said. I write for the Gamers’ Club (articles about classic video games) and In the Queue (articles about what is worth a watch on Netflix Watch Instant).

 

 

 

 

I write satirical review of b-movies and cult films for Lost Highways B-movie Reviews and Cult Films. The reviews are ‘in character’ as Tiger Sixon, a fallen from grace secret agent. Tiger is subjected to b-movies by the government, in hopes he will crack and share his secrets.

 

Photos

  Photography is mainly a hobby, but I have been hired to shoot photos for websites. I also volunteer to shoot photos at Lansing events, including Capital City Film Festival 2011, Ignite Lansing 4, Lansing GiveCamp 2011,  TEDx Lansing 2011 and Lansing JazzFest 2011. (Sometimes events contact me to be a shooter)
