Mélie is an English and French-speaking Franco-Lebanese author whose writing and research deal with the transmission of stories and inherited silences. They love the idea of rewriting stories that are thought to be frozen. Their podcast, 'Passé Recomposé', in which they interview people about their grandparents, explores collective history through the family stories of anonymous people. Their first book, Contes d'un autre bois, was published by Éditions iXe in 2023. They are currently working on a new novel inspired by Greek mythology.
