Dan Calabrese
Dan is the co-founder and editor in chief of North Star Writers Group. His journalism career began at Western Michigan University, where he served as editor in chief of the Western Herald, followed by various stints of no particular note at newspapers around Michigan, including the Macomb Daily, the Royal Oak Daily Tribune, the Journal Newspapers in Wayne County and the Grand Rapids Business Journal. Thinking he could trade in journalism for an honest living, Dan embarked upon a series of "real jobs" in politics and public relations, and found himself owning his own PR firm in 1999.
 
After seven years of trying to convince himself and others that he could be a respectable businessman - wearing a suit, sitting in an office and telling people to do stuff - Dan realized he had only ever been good at two things in his life. Those were writing/reporting and washing dishes at Minnie's Seafood in Southfield, Michigan.
 
Minnie's is long gone, so that option's shot, but Dan would rather work in a restaurant than a newsroom, so he has taken up residence at Bagel Beanery in Wyoming, Michigan, sitting in the window and running North Star Writers Group.
 
It beats working - although he's willing to wash dishes if they ask.
