My name is Mel and I love to write. I’m a marketing professional and co-own Oberlander Group, a creative marketing firm known for its work with clients in Education, Healthcare and the Arts. Some of our clients have included Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York City Ballet, Miami City Ballet, The Grammys, as well as Williams College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and UAlbany. I also own Wordslinger Inc, a copywriting, proofreading and editing site that creates content or helps shape yours into the persuasive argument or logical flow you’re looking for.

Apart from copywriting for commercial clients I’ve been working on a memoir and have tried my hand at fiction. I’ve learned from two of the best teachers and I highly recommend them and their work. Marion Roach, http://www.marionroach.com, is a teacher of memoir and has a wonderful website. Be sure to follow her if you have any interest in telling your story.Rebecca Grace Allen is an author of 11 (yes, 11!) books and she, also, is a phenomenal teacher. Although she is a romance writer her classes in fiction are transformative. I’ve learned so much. Find her at www.rebeccagraceallen.com.So I write, I’m a business owner. I have three cats and a oversized Shiba Inu, I’m a mom to the best guy on the planet and I’m living my best life!Follow me as I venture forward in life to find out if there’s a secret to living and a secret to dying well. Not to be a downer but I’m very interested in honoring the wishes of the dying and will be exploring more on this topic in months to come.Until then, stay safe, be well and just do your best. It’s all you can ask of yourself.
