Melissa Grindon

I am an Irish writer based in Liverpool. My main area of interest is historical fiction and contemporary drama. My specialties are proofreading, editing, fiction writing, and spoken word.

Alongside my own personal writing endeavours, I am the founder of Bloom Writers' Room, a creative writing workshop course that can be adapted for schools and community. I set up this short course to help those with little to no writing experience learn the basic skills and technique to creating short stories and prose.

I have been published with the University of Oxford’s “Oxford Scientist” and with Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse Theatres “Love Liverpool”. After winning WOW’s Pulp Idol 2021, a competition with judges from Harper North (an imprint of HarperCollins), I am completing my debut Novel, Cabbage Babies. The first chapter of my novel is available to purchase with Writing on the Wall, and is featured in News from Nowhere, an independent bookstore in Liverpool. My poetry collection, Everything Grows When You Bury It, is in completion for release later this year.
