Meet Marissa

Editor

Marissa is an essayist and writer living in Brooklyn with her cat, Sula. Her work appears in Barren Magazine, Kissing Dynamite, Memoir Mixtapes, and on the Missouri Review's Miller Aud-cast. She's working on a book about the New York City subway system, art, and queer desire. 

As a reader, she loves fiction that points out the absurdity of real life, explores complicated relationships between women (platonic, romantic, and otherwise), or handles acute emotional experiences with a deft and understated hand to maximize narrative impact. Some favorite writers are Elif Batuman, Rachel Cusk, and Toni Morrison.
