About Michelle Mellon

Why do I write? That\'s like asking, why do I breathe? I write to live, to connect, to share with the world around me. I believe there\'s a story in every instance, which means there are infinite stories out there waiting to be told. Now as to how I do it.I\'m a multi-talented storyteller with experience in nonprofit, B2C, and B2B marketing and brand messaging, journalism, some public relations and grant writing work, and award-winning creative writing. I\'ve created content strategies and produced content and copy for startups, nonprofits, corporations and government agencies across areas as diverse as environmental justice, performing arts, refugee assistance, animal rescue, and technology. I\'m a strong believer in teams-both as a leader and as a contributor. And as long as I\'m learning something new and having a positive, meaningful impact on this world, I\'m happy in the work I do.
