About Mel

(don’t call me a mumpreneur)

I’m a copywriter, mechanical keyboard enthusiast, mother of two girls, terrible wife (I don’t cheat or anything, I just don’t “see” dirt and often forget the laundry in the machine), plant lover, event speaker and general okay egg.

I’m also cohost of indie business club; the podcast for independent creatives.

Want to work with me? I’ll make you jump through some hoops first.

Fill in this form so I know you’re taking me seriously, unlike my father-in-law when I said I was going freelance.

Look at me now, John. Yer girl’s done good!

Get in touch

I don’t give out my phone number. My working day is limited to school hours, and I find most enquiries are easier to sort out over email or a zoom call anyway. And it’s not the 90s (sadly). Please fill in this briefing form and I’ll get back to you.
