About me

M V Melcer (pronounced MELtzer) is the author of numerous short stories and the upcoming novel REFRACTIONS (November 2023).

She writes mostly speculative fiction, particularly science fiction, which allows her to explore ideas outside of the constraints of present-day realities. Truth can be found in the farthest places, in distant future and in strange new worlds.

She is represented by Lisa Rodgers at JABberwocky Literary Agency.

Bio:

Born in Poland in time to see the iron curtain go down, Mel has since lived in the US, the Netherlands, Belgium, and for the last decade in the UK. She grew up reading science fiction novels of Stanisław Lem, before going on to study English literature in Poland and in the USA. A storyteller at heart, she wrote her first “book” at the age of eight. It was supposed to be the first one in a series – alas, the sequels never happened.

When she returned to writing, Mel started her journey with screenplays and filmmaking. She directed several short films, which screened at several festivals and brought nominations and awards.

However, the creative freedom of writing fiction proved too tempting. Mel returned to her first love: science fiction.

And because one should never stop learning, she is now also pursuing a second degree in Astronomy and Planetary Sciences through the Open University.
