Mel's profile
Mel Edden is a British poet based in Monkton. Her writing reflects her life as a stay-at-home mom, her love of the arts and all things water. Her recent writing can be found in The Loch Raven Review, Meat For Tea, Gargoyle, WWPH Writes and Welter. She is currently working on a manuscript for her first poetry collection.
Mel hosts the monthly poetry open mic night series at Manor Mill in Monkton, MD and is an editor of the Poets of Manor Mill poetry anthology. Mel also coordinates a monthly free poetry workshop at the Baltimore County Public Library in Hereford and, keen to inspire younger writers, welcomes invitations to visit schools to discuss poetry with students.
When not writing, she swims, listens to audiobooks and acts as taxi-driver to her two little Americans.
