Back in 2010, Melody realized there was a true need for social media help in the writer world, and an accidental entrepreneur was born. She provides consultation, social media management, workshops, trainings, retreats, and conference presentations on all things social media, with a special focus on writers and authors. She’s presented at Lighthouse Writers and the Colorado Gold Conference, among others, and still works in social media on a limited basis.
Melody was the founder of Colorado Women in Social Media, a collaboration of female solopreneurs working together in support of each other and the community as a whole. CWSM drew one of the largest ever standing-room-only audiences for a presentation at Denver Startup Week. This group is now concluded. Melody served as Vice President and Communications Chair for the Denver Woman’s Press Club from 2019-2021. Her current role there is social media consultant and manager.
To her great delight, she won first place in the Mesa County Library Poetry Contest in May 2022. Read her winning poem The Sun and The Moon here. Currently, Melody hosts Writer Chicks Coffee Club Wednesday mornings at 9:00 a.m. at Main Street Bagels in Grand Junction. She is working on a poetry chapook with a theme around a serious issue in today’s world, addiction.
