My name’s Marina and I’m the founder and CEO of Write Wild Co. and Return to the Wild. I'm also an associate agent at P.S. Literary Agency where I represent fiction. I’m also a previous Big 5 editor and bookseller.

Books and story have always been my passion. Ever since I first began to grasp the basics of spelling—very roughly, let’s be honest—I’d conjure stories onto paper like an incantation, weaving narratives that transported me to different realms. During my childhood, I’d often vividly reenacted my favourite stories with my stuffed animals, adding lots of drama and, frankly, more satisfying endings.

When I’m not immersing myself in books and words and magical worlds (or planning my our writing retreat), you can find me with a cup of tea in hand, trying a new yoga asana—never at the same time—or practicing Armenian, the language of my ancestors.
