M. Marinello | Author

Marissa Marinello is a SoCal native who writes urban, high fantasy, and cozy-romantasy. A TTRPG nerd who grew up on Tolkien, musical theater, & comics, she’s inspired by finding the fantastical in the mundane and building amazing worlds to tell rich stories in. Her stories often take moments from real life and transform them into something magical. When she remembers to post on socials, it’s usually of her four-legged writing buddy or whatever new piece of media has her in its grips.
