Melissa Becker’s Summary

I'm a wordsmith. I believe in the power of words to express ideas, dreams, and change lives.

Currently I'm working on fiction writing and have had a number of fiction pieces published online and in print. I would like to be able to earn enough from my writing to be able to do it full time. While I am focused on fiction I have worked in the past I have written resumes, cover letters, mission statements, fundraising letters, marking materials, website copy, and even wedding vows. I have experience in SEO, blogging, and reputation management. I continue to take these types of copywriting jobs if the topic seems interesting.
