Hi guys! My name is Melissa Hope and I'm an aspiring author currently working on my first Young Adult novel. Through trial and error, I have learned SO much over the years in regards to writing, and I wanted to share my insights and connect with aspiring authors who are working on their writing goals too. I hope you'll join me in weekly videos and rediscover what it means to follow your dreams! You can also find me on Instagram where I share daily writing tips and insights into my own writing journey!
