Mel Ciavucco - writer, vlogger and body positivity/mental health advocate |
|
Welcome! I'm Mel and I'm a UK-based writer, vlogger, speaker, charity worker, pizza-loving sequin enthousiast.
I write both fiction and non-fiction - stories, novels, screenplays, blogs, articles and more. My works of fiction are mostly either comedy or gritty drama, so quite different! I usually have a point I want to demonstrate when I start writing something. I want to get people thinking, to challenge mindsets and ideas. I flesh out the idea and consider which format it will be best suited to (short story, screenplay etc) and then I'll explore character ideas. I like writing anything which challenges social norms or takes a satirical look at society.
My blogs, articles and videos tend to focus on body positivity and gender equality. I feel very passionately about these topics and believe we can help each other through life's difficulties by sharing our own personal stories. Our world will always need storytellers and artists. Creative people are good for our society. We have the power to influence and shape the world. I learn something through everything I write - it's how I process stuff. It's my therapy.
I feel like I should end on an intelligent quote, but all I've got is Frank 'N Furter - that wise, sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania...
"Don't dream it, be it."
