About Me

Writing & ADHD Coach | Author | Founder, Write Now! Coach

Hey there!

I’m Rochelle Melander — a certified writing and ADHD coach who has helped hundreds of writers, creatives, and entrepreneurs turn ideas into finished, published books.

I specialize in helping people who want to write but feel stuck by distraction, procrastination, overwhelm, or competing demands. Together, we design a writing life that actually works — one that fits your brain, your schedule, and your goals — so you can move from intention to action and from draft to publication.

I also guide writers through the publishing landscape and help them connect with readers through thoughtful, authentic use of social media — without burnout or noise.

What I Bring to Uptales

I combine coaching, craft, and practical publishing insight to help writers build momentum and confidence. My approach is especially effective for writers with ADHD or anyone who struggles with consistency, focus, or follow-through.

I help you:

  • Overcome procrastination and distraction
  • Build sustainable writing habits
  • Clarify ideas and turn them into books
  • Navigate publishing options with confidence
  • Share your work and connect with readers
