Episode 112: E. Danielle Butler

  1. Episode 112: E. Danielle Butler Daniel Paisner 59:36

Narratives that matter.

That’s the lane currently occupied by “collaborative storyteller” E. Danielle Butler, co-author of more than two dozen books, many of them written with business executives, pioneering artists, and faith leaders, helping to translate lived experience into lasting Legacy.

It’s a path she didn’t know she was meant to walk. In fact, she didn’t even know what a ghostwriter was until she became one. “But what I can trace throughout my life are threads of Black writers and storytellers weaving humanity and justice together,” she writes. “Our words are creation. For centuries, we’ve used them to ignite movements, capture legacies, and cement ideas.”

Over the course of her ghostwriting career, Danielle has given voice to men and women who inspire her, and she has made it her mission to ensure that their lives and careers can inspire others—as she set out to do in the book she co-authored with the trailblazing camerawoman Jessie Maple.

Her forthcoming collaboration, Finding God Every Day, written with child star and “Kid Pastor” Luke Tillman, will be published this fall by Zonderkids, the children’s division of Zondervan Publishing.

Join us for an inspiring conversation on what it takes to shine meaningful light on lives well and purposefully lived… through story.
