Melanie Hunter has been in love with the written word since she first held a pencil, at the age of three. From scribbling poems and rhymes in the margins of her schoolbooks to writing speeches, short stories and poetry, she and her pen have been on a lifelong journey together – one that has been filled with twists and turns, creativity, plenty of humour and the occasional ink stain! After fine tuning her literary skills, Melanie focuses on writing original, interesting and unique speeches for corporate events, weddings, retirements and eulogies. Having sat through many an ill-thought-out speech herself, she found that she was wrestling with her eyelids to keep them open. After enough of these speeches, she realised that audiences needed better, and speakers certainly could do with her help. She writes each speech by adding plenty of wit, interesting nuances, and appealing anecdotes. In addition to writing traditional speeches, Melanie has the unrivalled talent of being able to write any speech entirely in rhyme, and this is fast becoming a popular option for weddings and birthdays.With a growing collection of accolades and awards in her pen pot, Melanie is in high demand for her speeches, as she writes each one with a flair that is uniquely her own.
