message: I have completed a major rewrite of this article, in an attempt to make it better reflect Wikipedia policies on neutrality. It is my first effort, so it may not be as successful as I might like. I realise that it still lacks quality secondary sources, and intend to seek these out. Much commentary has been written on this writer, but equally this is not easily available, existing in publications, articles and reviews not usually archived in typical centres of research (at least where I am situated in Australia). However, it may in the present form, internet and tertiary sources aside, be a positive stop towards a good end result. 
Some ideas for improvement 
*Dann has written primarily shorter fiction, and the small section about this, does not seem to properly reflect this huge body of published work
*Some of the novels section has a summary, brief commentary, and some bibliographic information. Others do not, reflecting my inability to date to source these novels, and information and commentary about them.
*The Memory Cathedral at least might seem to warrant a separate article, it seems to be the most noted of the author's novels, and has been commented on in a range of forums, including historical ones
*I have no idea what sort of poetry Dann writes. It is a minor part of his work, but at least a sentence about in the existing poetry section, properly sourced, would be useful
*Some might question the relatively larger section on writing technique, the logic behind this, is that Dann is well known as a writing teacher and it would seem appropriate thus, to provide information about his approach to writing.
*Dann's bibliography is massive, might a separate article be more appropriate than adding a bibliography which would dwarf the main body of the article?

message: While there is a great deal of bibliographic information in the article, there is no explicit Bibliography section.  I have thus started one, using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 10:22, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
