Anne Margaret has degrees in American history and English literature from Harvard (A.B.), Georgetown (M.A.), and Princeton (Ph.D). She also has a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law. As a graduate student at Princeton in 1996, she gave the keynote lecture at the F.

In spring 2017, Daniel taught the first course at a New York university in the combined arts and letters of Bob Dylan.
Daniel’s edition of Olivia Shakespear’s forgotten fin-de-siècle novella Beauty's Hour: A Phantasy was published by Valancourt in 2015, and her bestselling edition of the last complete short stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald, I’d Die For You And Other Lost Stories, was published by Scribner / Simon & Schuster in 2017. Her edition of The Great Gatsby was published by W.W. Norton / The Norton Library in 2022, and her second edition of the Oxford World’s Classics Tales of the Jazz Age in 2023. After finding a complete copy of Owen Davis’s 1926 Broadway play script of The Great Gatsby in the library at Colorado State University, she edited it with James L.W. West III, and The Great Gatsby: The 1926 Broadway Script was published by Cambridge University Press in 2024.
Daniel is currently working on a novel set in the movie and music businesses in Los Angeles, and a book of essays on Bob Dylan; and is co-editing with Jackson R. Bryer the selected letters of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald.
