Contact details

Hi. I'm Melissa and I write about the ocean.

I'm a freelance marine science, conservation & sustainability copywriter (and certified scuba diver with 270+ logged dives) and I love telling cool stories about the ocean.

My articles have been published in titles including National Geographic, Sunday Times, the Guardian, VICE and more.

If your organisation is making a difference to our blue planet and you need a writer to help tell your story, I'd love to chat about whether I'm a good fit to help.

My services include:

💙 Messaging development
💙 Impact reports
💙 Annual reports
💙 Whitepapers
💙 Blogs
💙 Articles
💙 Press releases
💙 & more...

🌊 If you're a marine scientist or conservationist with an upcoming study, I'd also love to hear about your work in case it inspires a story that I can pitch to my editors.

📚 If you're an editor looking to commission an ocean writer, get in touch.

🔔 Follow me on LinkedIn for sustainability tips, fun ocean facts, examples of my work and behind-the-scenes snippets of my freelance life.
