Welcome to MelanieHartt.com!
I'm glad you've chosen to visit.
My name is Melanie Hartt.
(I also go by Laney, Mel, and Mom.)
I'm an author, an editor, and an equestrian.
Though I've been writing stories for ages,
sharing them has definitely taken me ages.
That's why I'm giddy to share that my first book
Embracing the Elephant
is currently in full production mode, so stay tuned!
As much as I love creating stories from scratch,
I equally thrive on editing stories in all forms.
I've worked professionally as a film and video editor,
as well as a copy and managing editor for print journalism.
And in 2025, I will open my editorial calendar to authors of
literary fiction who need developmental editing assistance.
Melanie Hartt
You may have noticed that I have a thing for Pegasus.
That's because I spend a lot of time flying on the backs of magnificent horses.
I was pretty much raised in a horse barn, so riding horses
is in my DNA as much as writing and editing.
So, let's treat this website like a barn.
After all, it does stable so much of what I hold dear.
From the latest on my writing projects,
to nifty editorial tidbits, to my blog about all of the above,
this is a place to open the stall doors and let the stories
take to the skies.
My most heartfelt WELCOME to all my friends, fam, and fans!
