Melanie is a communications designer, born and raised on ancestral and unceded Coast Salish territory. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and loves to dissect what works (and doesn’t work) in stories of all kinds, from ad copy to fantasy novels to Lifetime movies.

She is particularly interested in reading for issues related to ethnicity, identity, cultural memory, and how we relate to one another in this ever-changing world.
