Denise Leora Madre
Meet the Instructor
Denise Leora Madre is a writer, editor, and bibliophile, a trifecta at least partly responsible for her English degree. A freelance editor who works with Elite Editing and Upwork, she is passionate about helping writers unleash the best versions of their stories, and her editing business, Prose without Thorns, helps her do just that. She self-published a well-reviewed novel entitled "Another 4.0," a coming-of-age story set at THE Howard University. Her essays are included in the anthologies "The Motherhood Diaries 2: Humorous and Heartwarming Musings on Motherhood" by National Bestselling Author Reshonda Tate Billingsley and "Color Him Father: Stories of Love and Rediscovery of Black Men." Ella D. Curry also included one of her short essays in #TheMotivatorsSeries on her website, The Morning Tea. When she isn’t bemoaning apostrophe abuse or fighting a chocolate addiction, Denise can be found editing one of several works in progress and reading "The Chicago Manual of Style" for fun. (Don’t judge her.)
