Let’s make invisible stories visible series #07
Dear Readers and Writers,
In this post, we introduce some great stories of Elin Melaas, a top writer and volunteer editor of Illumination Integrated Publications on Medium.
Elin comes from beautiful Telemark in Norway. She gained a Master of Science in Biophysics and Medical Physics and a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition.
She has a curious mind. She always looks for new and exciting knowledge, inspiration, and how to improve herself.
Elin has always been a reader but only started writing in late 2021. She has stayed on Medium the whole time. She mainly writes about books, health, advice for beginner writers, parenting, and coffee.
For information about her background, you may check her writer bio on the About Me publication on Medium.
