Mel Jolly has been working with authors and creative entrepreneurs for nearly two decades. Working with creative people is a bit like herding cats, but Mel loves it and prides herself on keeping people out of the loony bin. If you want weekly encouragement and strategies to help you find your focus and achieve your dreams, sign up for Mel’s newsletter.

Mel lives in the foothills of the smoky mountains with her husband and an assorted number of fur babies affectionately known as the Jolly Zoo. Mel holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Performance, which means she’s not afraid of a challenge, a crowd, or a little drama!

Bestselling authors (and best friends) Kristan Higgins and Joss Dey join forces for their wonderful podcast Crappy Friends. They talk about common red flags, difficulties in friendship, how to overcome difficulties and when to ditch your crappy friend. Female friendship at its best brings immeasurable value to your life. At its worst, it can be heartbreaking. Tune in, and send your letters to TheLadies@CrappyFriends.net
