Mel Ryane's memoir "Teaching Will: What Shakespeare and Ten Kids Gave Me That Hollywood Couldn't," (Familius) has been called "lively" and "funny" by Publisher's Weekly and "a bravura performance" by Kirkus Reviews.
Mel travels across North America teaching "From Page to Podium: Reading Your Work Aloud," a workshop designed to help writers present their work compellingly and with clarity.
In these workshops, Mel draws from her skills as an actor on stage and screen in the U.S. and her native Canada. She has also worked as an acting and dialogue coach on film and TV projects, including the hit sitcom "Seinfeld," and taught presentation technique at the corporate level.
Mel was accepted into the Directing Workshop for Women at the prestigious American Film Institute, where she directed her short film, "Stepping on the Cracks." She also wrote a sitcom pilot that was optioned in Canada and wrote and directed a play for the du Maurier World Stage Festival. Her screenplay "On the Head of a Pin" was a semi-finalist in the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting.
Mel Ryane's writing has been featured in the LA Times, Paragraph Planet, the Noyo River Review and she has guest blogged on the sports blog, Sons of Steve Garvey and has gathered a worldwide audience for her own blogs: "Teaching Will" and "On Location."
