Let’s get creative…
Let me bring some extra pizazz to your publication in the form of an article, blog or column. I’ve been writing for as long as I’ve been able to hold a pen and I’d love to help bring a voice to your ideas! I specialize in pieces relating to travel journalism, such as cultural experiences, lesser-known histories and traditions around the world. As a regular contributor to the Georgian Journal, I particularly enjoy writing about Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. In addition to the Georgian Journal, I am a staff travel writer for Big 7. When I’m not typing away furiously about food or culture, I can’t seem to shut up about what travel does for personal growth.
Any of this ring a bell? Let’s discuss and get creative. melaniedelayne@gmail.com
