    Hi there! I appreciate you are taking a few minutes to get to know about me. I've enjoyed a fascinating journey of learning and experiences over the years. Since publishing my Smashwords books, I have moved on from writing about banking and personal finance. However, I have chosen to keep these works alive in the digital world. I have been writing since my college years and have so enjoyed the world of writing, books, and publishing since that time. During my corporate years in banking and personal finance, I liked sharing financial knowledge to empower consumers to make better money decisions. In addition to giving educational workshops, working with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago with MoneySmart Week, I wrote and published books in the personal finance genre, some of which are available here on Smashwords. I also thrived in my side-gig as a managing editor and publisher of several digital magazines, i.e., a literary magazine for women and then later a personal finance magazine. I was definitely a busy person during my corporate years! However, I consider myself lucky to follow new dreams in the latter part of my career. It was in 2014 that I said goodbye to the corporate world to follow my passion for writing, research, ghostwriting, publishing, and nature photography full-time. Below is my formal profile that I now have on LinkedIn. You can also visit my personal website at MelissaNewton.com to learn more about my work now as a ghostwriter and publisher, and access free downloadable ebooks on different topics in writing. Melissa ________________________ I'm Melissa Newton, Founder and President of Millcreek Media Group, Inc. (MMG), a publishing and content media group. In addition to being an author, ghostwriter, and writing coach, I can take you through every step to publish your book. I consider myself lucky to follow new dreams in the latter part of my career. I want to help you fulfill your dreams as an author! Live the Life You've Imagined The above quote from Henry David Thoreau is a promise of what life can be IF we choose to make it so. Do you want to take your ideas, experience, and stories and write a book? Your experience needs an experienced ghostwriter or writer/editor. I'm here to help you succeed.
