Rochelle Melander, Writing and ADHD Coach

rochelle-melander

I have more than twenty years of experience as an author, managing editor, and freelance book editor. I’ve coached professors, consultants, and coaches through the mental blocks that keep them from writing a book. I work especially well with people who struggle with ADHD and need concrete support.

I love connecting with change makers–coaches, consultants, professors, and scientists who have ideas that the world needs. I coach people one-on-one and run several writing groups that help you show up and write!

    Rochelle is not only a capable writing coach, she also helped me rethink the goals I wanted to achieve. Her guidance to assist in developing this brand I believe has led an acquisitions editor to work with me on a third book.

    I had written public policy in Washington for several years, but writing a book was on another level. Rochelle Melander helped me find my voice and refine my message. Rochelle has been an amazing coach and mentor throughout this entire process. I never could have completed my project without her help and guidance.
