Who I Am
I tell stories that quietly stir -- with heart, mystery, and meaning.
Hi, I’m Marian — a multimedia storyteller with a warm, clear voice and an intuitive sense of emotion. I narrate audiobooks and write books and screenplays.
Shaped by vocal training at Chicago’s Second City, mentorship through The Great Audiobook Adventure with narrator Elisa Arsenault, and years of writing, editing, and creative development, I bring grounded delivery, vibrant character presence, and an instinct for tone and tempo.
I’m especially drawn to female-led stories — from clever middle grade adventures to twisty YA thrillers to cozy romance and emotionally rich fiction. I also enjoy narrating nonfiction in personal finance and self-help — subjects I know well thanks to a background in media, marketing, and finance (Series 65 included!). I’ve also worked as a college writing instructor, making academic and instructional content feel like a second home.
At heart, I believe in storytelling that connects — whether it’s heartfelt, funny, or thoughtful. I bring that same spirit to every story I tell. When not in the booth, you can find me
