Writing Online

This week's episode is part of our Careers in the Liberal Arts series as we discuss the journey of becoming a writer. Most people think of writers as authors of books, but there’s actually probably more writing than ever before with the advent of the internet. Websites, social media, newsletters, and online editorials all are areas where you can become a writer. This week’s guest is Melody Belliveau, a freelance writer and author of the website, TheSocial-Commentary.com. Melody started out writing for a local newspaper in her early thirties as a mother of four children. Then, family life put a pause in her writing career until she had to step back from her previous position due to health issues and decided to start her own website to inspire, encourage, and support others. She continues to challenge herself with new challenges, aiming to publish in a national magazine next. You never know when your writing career will flourish. The key is to never give up.
