About Me
About Me
Embedded Files
Hey friends! I'm Mel.
I'm a writer based 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 a few other things 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 & nature🦅
I'm an amateur birder, love jumping spiders, and my fave animal is a Common Loon, if you're curious.
🎂 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).
🎶 Music & concerts🎶
I love anything and everything music, from Sabrina Carpenter and Frankie Valli to Northlane and SonReal.
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 eccentric) company here.

Em dashes ≠ AI writing. I've been using em dashes (generously) since before ChatGPT was born.
