Melinda Copp is a freelance writer based in the South Carolina Lowcountry. She's been a writer since she could hold a pencil, and since 2005 she's been freelancing full-time. Her byline has appeared in numerous local, regional, and national publications, both in print and on the web. Although she's written everything from profiles of local businesses and people to service journalism for moms-to-be, she's most passionate about stories that showcase humanity and creativity, explore the natural world, and reveal the delicacy of the human experience.
