Hey friends! I'm Mel.
I'm a writer in Calgary, Alberta.
I help you write the words you want to say but aren't sure how to, from newsletters people read start-to-finish to blogs that don't bore you to death.
Writing is my jam...
But here are a few other things that are my jam, too.
🐾 My dog🐾
Her name's Twyla (like from Schitt's Creek), she's a fluffy bundle of sass, has way too many toys, and is the LOML.
🦅Animals and nature🦅
I'm an amateur birder, love jumping spiders, and my fave animal is also a Common Loon, if you're curious.
🛶 Camping🛶
You can find me (via GPS) in national parks every summer. Wait until after the portage to ask if it's fun, though.
🎂 Baking🎂
Birthday cakes are my fave thing to make. One of my best was Milk Bar's Birthday Cake (which is worth all 100 steps).
If being a cringey dog mom or admitting to birding hasn't turned you off yet,
then you're my kind of people.
You're in good — and weird — company here.
