Background

About Melissa Mitchell

As a professional journalist and editor with more than 25 years of experience in the media industry, I am a talented writer with a drive to interpret complex information into readable copy. I am an all-round journalist who can write, sub and layout copy, snap on a catchy headline and I understand what makes copy compelling. I am a social media native, craft copy to suit multiple platforms and am utterly outraged by bad grammar. I can produce enticing, intelligent news and feature articles spiced with wit, wordplay and insight. I offer polished English skills, a can-do attitude and a super sensitive nose for a good story. I am also proficient in using social media platforms such as Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and website development and content publishing. I’m adept at handling multiple deadlines in a busy office environment, I can bring talent together and I exercise strong editorial judgement. I have a high level of initiative, I thrive in a team environment and I have a positive attitude. Skills: News and feature writing, sub-editing, craft catchy headlines and intros, broad interview techniques, copy tasting, source contributors, design and drive projects, problem solve and negotiate, prioritise tasks and I’m a stickler for style.
