up until now i've been @thesuncomingout on all socials (in reference to a kate bush lyric lol) but i think it's time to go the grown-up name route !

two that i know are available are @marina__ramil (one underscore is taken unfortunately) and @marinaramilwrites

any thoughts on which is better? or a secret third option?

This is my insta profile. I have little published work as of yet (got another rejection today), so I haven't linked any. I do have poetry performances on my insta, but it's honestly a bit messy because orgs I'm involved in often make me a contributor on a post I didn't design an that doesn't feature me. Any tips are appreciated.

Whoo hoo!! Thank you Shelby!!Crystal clear now on the goal of driving people to where the work is and not focusing so much on followers.

Hereโ€™s my revised hot off the press profile:

Thoughts?? Suggestions??

Iโ€™m still in the agent search stage

Hey Kate THIS LOOKS SO GOOD! I have only one minor tweak - I may drop the "coordinator" and instead just keep the "founder" bit in front of "One Book at a Time" to keep it just a bit cleaner (:
