Melinda F.
Writing and Editing Professional
For the past 28 years, I have been writing and/or editing fiction, non-fiction, and journalistic works. I have written across several genres and formats, including, but not limited to, romance, action-adventure, slice-of-life pieces, mystery, and children's fiction. My works have been well-received, winning competitions and garnering multiple awards over the years, such as: Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine Mysterious Photograph Story Competition; Writers' Journal Romance Contest; Harlequin Romance Mini Round Robin Competition Oshima Picture Book Museum International Picture Book Competition; Semi-Finalist Clive Cussler Adventure Writer's Competition; New York Book Festival Honoree; Green Book Festival Honoree; Writers Unlimited Chevron Award; Readers' Favorite 5-Star Award; and New Orleans Press Club Silver Scribe Award. My work has been published by Harlequin, Reader's Digest, Writers' Journal, and a small, independent publishing house. A motivated self-starter, I am accustomed to working on projects with deadlines and quick turn-arounds to give clients exactly what they are looking for in an expeditious manner.
