A Note From Our Founder, Melina Druga
My career began in the fast-paced world of journalism, where I honed my skills in research, copy editing and crafting clear, impactful articles, and developed a keen eye for detail. Over the years, I’ve covered a variety of topics, always striving to bring a fresh perspective and a human touch to my writing.
I successfully published more than 30 fiction and nonfiction books through my other business, Sun Up Press. Through my fiction, I explored the realms of creativity, weaving tales that captivate the imagination. Whether it’s character development or world-building, I enjoy experimenting with different genres and styles, always seeking to connect with readers on a deeper level.
I founded Skeleton Crew PR because I believe that every author, musician and artist deserves to shine, and I love collaborating with fellow creatives to find their voices, bring their visions to life and connect with audiences.
When I’m not immersed in the world of words, you can find me listening to music, exercising, or diving into a new novel. Possibly refereeing a literal cat fight in my living room.
I believe that everyone has a story worth telling, and I’m here to help share yours! Let’s bring your vision to life. Reach out today and let’s start telling your story.
