Melissa Kline in the She Lives Creatively Spotlight

Prior to moving to Colorado, my search for a support group for aspiring writers was fruitless. I hadn't heard of Meetup yet. And Google searches for a writing tribe in the Metro-Detroit suburb I called home were dead ends.

But in 2009, the year I relocated to Colorado, I found a flier for a new women's writing support group on a community bulletin board. We became known as the Rocky Mountain Women Writers. And five years later, we continue to be led and inspired at our bi-weekly meetings by our founder, the talented and creative, Melissa Kline.

This month I'm delighted to feature Melissa - Author, Publisher, and Inspiration Ignitor - as our creative, entrepreneurial woman in the She Lives Creatively Spotlight!

Marcella: You are the co-founder of DreamFusion Press, a Denver-based company that offers publishing and literary services. What sets your company apart from other publishing houses?

Melissa: Our mission is to inspire, uplift and actualize the dreams of both writers and readers alike; all while ensuring the experience remains positive and harmonious. In a society where so much is superficial, technical and digital, we approach the literary world in a more holistic manner, considering the heart and soul a vital part of any project we take part in. We strive to create lasting relationships with those we work with, which in turn promotes a sense of community amongst writers, readers and everyone in between. We believe in connecting and empowering one another, as opposed to distancing and competing with them. After all - there is room for us all at the top!

Marcella: In addition to being a publisher, you are also an award winning young adult novelist. How did you make the transition from writer to publisher?

Melissa: At some point in my own creative metamorphosis I had a vision and desire to give others the same gift that I have received – the actualization of seeing my dreams come to life. That desire is what spawned my transition. Now, I get to have a hand in helping other’s birth their creations into the world whilst still pursuing my own passions. There’s a powerful magic in creative collaboration and actualization.
