She spends much of her days copywriting for advertising, and as an educator/consultant in cinematic arts for various institutions and cultural bodies in Barbados and the Region. Her company, Brownest Eye Productions provides a range of multi-media services which offer creative and unique approaches to brand communications and ideas development.
Of the many hats she wears, writing has remained one of her greatest passions. Inspired by the cultural diversity of Caribbean peoples, and the many countries in which she’s lived, Melanie started writing Pearl while at film school in Cuba. Her multi-national background and love of travel has played a pivotal role in shaping the author she is today. “Pearl – A Caribbean Story” is her first novel.view less
