Linda Melone

I'm an established, award-winning writer/freelance editor specializing in fitness, insurance, health, nutrition and corporate writing/ghost writing. I've covered stories ranging from magnetic imagery for depression to the 10 Best Ab Exercises. As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with three fitness certifications, I ask targeted questions of experts and can translate complex topics into reader-friendly copy.
