Melanie Mayer
Melanie Mayer loves the written word and the act of creating worlds. Her bookshelves groan under the weight of her love for books. She is a retired therapist who lives with a demanding pet rabbit and a shitty roommate named Fibromyalgia. In 2021, she moved to the frozen land of Minnesota.
We’re too lazy to be deadly, but we definitely inspire envy. Maybe.
Our main motivation for Sloth & Envy Press is to work with writers from start to finish to bring professional caliber products to market, including developmental editing, line editing, formatting, design, and publishing. We’re a small press, but we’re also writers, so we’re passionate about helping independent writers succeed and profit from their work.
We’ve decided to take on this independent publishing adventure with a focus on profitability for fellow creatives, but we’re starting with baby-steps. Through lots of careful (and lazy) planning, we’ve mapped out three upcoming projects as well as combined our efforts on a fun zine called Toad Shade Zine.
We’ll have more information soon!
We’ve got a full calendar for the rest of 2024, but we’ll have updates soon.
