Professional Novel Editing for Independent Authors

Hello Hello!

My name is Melyn (like Melinda but no ‘duh’)

I was born in Alaska, raised in Las Vegas, and now I call myself a proud Seattle local. I’m living my Pacific Northwest aspiring novelist’s dream.

Since I was in my single digits era, I've adored writing (fiction most of all).
Being able to tell a story in such a way that a stranger on the other end can feel absolutely devastated at the loss of a character, or whoop and cheer for a monumental plot moment is such an inspiration to me. It truly will never get old.

With a professional background rooted in the instruction of reading comprehension and writing at the collegiate level, I stand ready to assist you in extracting the utmost potential from your writing endeavors. Currently, I specialize in critical feedback of fiction work, including but not limited to fantasy, science-fiction, and young adult. That being said, I am comfortable critiquing other genres such as non-fiction (and I’m not afraid to do my own research on your behalf).

My educational background is from four years at the University of Nevada Reno, where I earned a Bachelor's of Arts in Creative Writing and Literature. During that time, I spent the majority of my days in a damp, dimly lit building with some of the most influential professors that I had the opportunity to learn from. I workshopped with over two dozen classmates, exchanging manuscripts and critical feedback for years as we each grew in our knowledge and expression of it. Now, I meet bi-weekly with several other writers from across the country in order to further my lust for creativity and polish my own skills when it comes to writing and offering critique.
