marina writes stuff • marina paints stuff • marina draws stuff •

sure, my life (and designing this site) would be easier if I had one passion, one talent, ONE focus. but alas, I am cursed with a complexity of interests. if you’re looking for:

  • creative strategy

  • copywriting

  • ghostwriting 👻

  • pottery

….or some sassy art to hang on your wall, then you’ve come to the right marina.

some (lovely) words about my book

Marina Shifrin is like a millennial David Sedaris […] this collection of writing is essential for anyone who […] wants to figure out how to live and be a cool person.
— Moshe Kasher
A laugh-outloud guidebook for young people lost or drifting [...] She found the winding path to satisfaction wholly worthwhile. Fun, refreshing, and inspirational.
— Booklist
This bracingly honest, well-tailored book deserves a vest because it’s an emotional support animal.
— Guy Branum
An entertaining bucket-list tale. Shifrin gives readers a taste of what successful self-deprecation looks like; she constantly pokes fun at herself, analyzing the situations she put herself in and figuring out how they affected her journey.
— Kirkus Reviews
