Melanie Stephens was born and still lives in Cornwall with her family. As soon as she learnt anyone could write a book if they had the imagination, the only thing she could ever imagine becoming was an author.

Melanie released her first publication in May 2020, after being inspired to use her passion for writing to help the NHS during the Coronavirus Epidemic. Isolation Tales was written in just 16 days and Melanie donated all her royalties to the NHS Covid-19 appeal and will continue to do so with every copy bought. The book earnt 5- star reviews and media attention both locally and nationally.

Melanie has an increasingly strong presence online where she uniquely publishes full-length short stories and poems free for readers to enjoy on her Facebook author page.

In December 2020, Melanie published a collection of works, showcasing her journey as a writer. Again, earning 5-star reviews, this highly anticipated book 'The Collection' also became available in full colour as a special edition.
