The Ocean Writer š š¦š³š¦š | Freelance marine science, conservation & sustainability writer available for commissions Available for work
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:
š Messaging development
š Impact reports
š Annual reports
š Whitepapers
š Blogs
š Articles
š Press releases
š & more...
š 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.
š If you're an editor looking to commission an ocean writer, get in touch.
š Follow me on LinkedIn for sustainability tips, fun ocean facts, examples of my work and behind-the-scenes snippets of my freelance life.
