Melora Fern

The only constant in life is change, so after a year of multiple doozies, Melora Fern moved from Texas to North Carolina to become herself. Growing up as the perpetual “new kid” she persevered by making up stories and recently has learned how to hone that skill into writing fiction. As a recovering CPA, she now counts words, seashells, or colorful stones discovered on her walks. 

After eight years of perfecting her craft with writing classes, workshops, retreats, and an awe-inspiring critique group, Melora’s months of querying agents and small presses paid off. She signed with Sibylline Press and her debut novel, Whistling Women and Crowing Hens, came out May 2025. She’s currently working on her second novel, teaching beginners writing classes at her local library, and actively involved with her writers’ critique group. Melora resides in Hillsborough, NC.
