Marissa Germain

Originally from Orlando, Florida, Marissa Germain spent her time reading and trying every after-school activity in the catalogue. She has always had a bit of a travel bug which led her into a career dedicated to addressing global poverty.

She’s traveled to Australia, France, England, Afghanistan, Turkey, Chile, Peru, Montserrat West Indies, Dominican Republic, and naturally, Haiti.

She is now growing her work as an independent author and lives in Northern Virginia with her dog.

She has been long listed with CRAFT Literary Magazine Fall/Winter 2025 for the first chapters competition.
