I’m Mel Hattie, a photographer and fiction writer on the East Coast. You might know me for my documentary work or blogging about tea and travel.

Throughout the years, I've enjoyed putting together thoughtful essays, photo series, and anecdotes about the above. My work has appeared in publications across North America, Europe, and Japan.

Since 2021, I've been developing my practice as a fiction writer. My work is supported by the Nova Scotia Talent Trust, and I'm an alum of the Banff Centre's Writer's Retreat. I'm proud and happy to be able to dig into this next chapter of my creative life with you.

If you add your e-mail address below, you'll get letters and updates from me every so often. Thank you for your support!
