Mellifluous
INK is
one of the alter-egos of Melissa Alexander, a Washington-based
writer, editor, and trainer.
Words
have been her passion since she wrote her first "novel"
in third grade---a whopping twenty seven pages! Since
then, she has produced a few more pages and produced
tons of satisfied customers.

In
fifteen years with companies such as Microsoft and
Boeing, Melissa became known for her ability to produce
exactly what the customer wanted---and to do it quickly
and accurately with a clear, crisp, reader-friendly
style. Some of her most exciting projects included:
- Working
with executives at multiple companies to create
vision and mission statements and long-range business
plans
- Collaborating
with a team to design and implement an
XML-based single-source data management solution
- Using
Macromedia Authorware to create a computer-based
training prototype used to sell advanced capacity
planning training
- Creating
training programs for a variety of soft-skill and
management issues, from diversity to customer service
- Writing
scripts for training videos and computer-based training
- Working
with operations, programmers, and end users to design
a computer-based inventory system
- Editing
novels, screenplays, and academic articles

Who's
that in the chair? |

Outside
of work, Melissa has published an award-winning nonfiction
book called
Click for Joy: Questions and Answers from Clicker
Trainers and their Dogs and has spoken
on the topic at several conferences, seminars, and
workshops across the country.
She
has also written a contest-winning screenplay and
is currently outlining a novel tentatively titled
The
Mustang Club.

 "Thrives
on a challenge---that's how I'd describe Melissa. It didn't
matter if the deadline was short or if the technology was
brand new. She would jump in and create an outstanding result,
and she had our most difficult customers eating out of her
hand while she did it. Professional, fast, creative... there
just aren't enough adjectives to describe her work."
