Vancouver Poet: Jane Mellor

Jane Mellor was born and raised in San Francisco, California, but looking for adventure, headed to Canada at the age of nineteen. She lived off the grid for many years in the back country of British Columbia, before moving to Vancouver. There she ran her own business and later worked as a set stylist for magazine photo shoots. Eventually she landed her dream job for Canadian House & Home Magazine in Tuscany, Italy. She wrote the feature article for that story, which launched many years writing for home lifestyle and travel magazines in Canada and the US.

In 2007 Jane was accepted into Simon Fraser University’s The Writer’s Studio and soon after graduating, became host and organizer of TWS Reading Series, a monthly literary event for notable and emerging writers. Her poetry has been published in numerous literary journals over the years and her work appeared in the Anthology Against Death, published by Anvil Press.

Jane has two published books of poetry and prose – Delicate Availability and Because It Is, both available on Amazon. She also writes and has published romance novels under a pseudonym.
