About Melanie Marloe

Melanie Marloe is a writer whose life has spanned the extremes of survival and reinvention. A former nurse and Boston Combat Zone stripper, she carries both identities in her story—not as contradictions, but as truths that shaped her path.

Her memoir, Epsilon: The Girl Who Could Not Be Erased, traces her journey from childhood marked by silence and betrayal, through years of addiction and erasure, to a life of sobriety, awakening, and light. Woven through her story are moments of grace—an assisted living patient who told her she carried a light, the memory of being pulled from the bottom of a swimming pool as a child, the resilience of finding her own voice when others tried to silence it.

Melanie writes with raw honesty and lyrical precision, blending memory with reflection in a style influenced by Joan Didion and Joyce Maynard. Her mission is simple but urgent: to help others see that they are not mistakes, that healing is possible, and that truth—even when spoken quietly—can transform a life.

When she isn’t writing, Melanie shares her voice through essays, poems, and her YouTube channel Sober Without AA, where she offers an unfiltered perspective on freedom from alcohol.
