I’m Marian McCormick, an author and illustrator with a gentle heart, a love for family, and a passion for writing. Throughout my early education in Calvert School, I was drawn to whimsical fairytales and colorful illustrations, which inspired my lifelong fondness for art and storytelling.
During both middle and high school, I was privately schooled through Acellus Academy, where I specialized in literature and business economics. I also earned a diploma with highest honors in Writing Stories for Children from Stratford Institute. That experience further enhanced my artistic and writing skills.
To this day I continue to study through Acellus Academy's advanced programs, and I'm pursuing a diploma in Creative Writing from Stratford as well.
My dream is to create genuine, magical stories using the power of words and imagination, and to share that magic through every book I create-
from storybook to novel.
Since I was a child, I enjoyed drawing and storytelling. Along with my sister, I created playful characters with supernatural abilities, robot princesses, and one-handed thieves. I thereon became infatuated with the power to create worlds with the touch of a pen.
In 2019, I wrote my first complete novel. Afterward, I quickly developed a passion for writing stories rather than just drawing them. I began writing several other books in the following years, including genres of action, adventure, and romance.
In 2022, I wrote my first children's book, A Buddy for Buddy. In between schoolwork, it then took me almost two years to illustrate the 33-page book. By the time A Buddy for Buddy was complete, I decided that it was ready for publication, and took the biggest step in my writing career: self-publishing.
