Hey, I’m Marin!
→ I’m a Breaking Bad fanatic (as you can see from the pic). During my van life travels, we stopped in Albuquerque for the Breaking Bad RV Tour. My 29th birthday was Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul themed.
→ My favorite genres to read are thrillers, dystopian science fiction, and romantic suspense. My least favorite are fantasy and historical fiction.
→ I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and reading has always been my biggest comfort and coping skill.
Things you probably don’t know about me:
I’m the only person I know who has actually slipped on a banana peel.
I was born and raised in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley.
I was a band kid from 5th grade through my first 2 years of college.
I love going to the dentist. I think it’s relaxing!
I’m a hobby collector. Reading is the only one I’ve kept long term.
I drink an entire pot of coffee every single day.
Let me tell you the story of how I started my bookish business. In 2019, I was working as a retail store manager. I hated it. I had been in retail for about 5 years, working my way up from associate to manager, thinking I’d enjoy it more if I just reached the next level. Spoiler alert: I did not. I was truly unhappy in my job, and that’s not a feeling I wish on anyone.
One day, I said out loud to no one, “Get me out of this job. I can’t do this anymore.” The next day, I got word that the entire company was closing down. Oops! Didn’t mean to manifest the shutting down of an entire business.
But I knew that was my time to go out on my own. I started my LLC in 2020 and began taking any project I could, from social media management to copywriting gigs.
After a couple years, I had fallen in love with the bookish niche. I was working with Book of the Month as a copywriter, doing social media for indie authors, and helping people run their bookish businesses.
Today, I help people start and grow their bookish businesses, whether they’re an author looking to sell more books or a book lover wanting to monetize their book blog. If you want to make books your career, you’re in the right place.
