Melanie Sypherd
Bio
Melanie Sypherd is a Californian, raised in the heart of Los Angeles. So, it was no surprise that she grew up with a love for anything and everything entertainment. In elementary school she was a member of the choir and orchestra classes and the local girl-scouts. She was sure she would find a place in music, but when she was promoted to Thomas Star King Middle school, all of that changed. Melanie auditioned for her first part in the school play and landed a role in “Tootsie” a comedy musical. It was in that performance that she stole the show and was bitten by the showbiz bug. Subsequently, she was voted most likely to pursue a career in entertainment that year and started writing poetry and short stories.
In high school, Melanie enrolled in creative writing classes to help develop her story writing techniques. Stories poured from her creative imagination but after life really picked up, she laid her pen down and put her story telling on the shelf until she created an after-school program to help promote the arts. Being that the school was in an improvised area, there were no funds allocated toward extracurricular activities for her members. It was out of this desire that Melanie picked up the pen again. She has written, directed, and produced countless plays such as, “I’m Ok, Our Voices, Our Journey to Freedom, Taking A Chance, The Tightest Shackle and What if”, just to mention a few. With so many stories still to write, Melanie decided that it was time to take her writing more seriously. She enrolled in a professional Master/ Advanced writers’ program with KMP Entertainment, graduated Salutatorian of her class and is now following her dream of being a writer of screenplays and novels. To date she has written and published “The Patio” a romance novel out now and three screenplays “Blocked Shots” her first solo project and “Pops Crew”, and “Mendacity” both co-written. Currently she is writing the second installment of “The Patio”, “365 Days to Self-Love” and another screenplay yet to be titled.
