About

All the world’s a stage, it’s been said, and it is my wish for my art to be an inspiration to others to find their voice. I find joy in working with other people, exchanging ideas and bearing witness to others’ talents and creativity, for I believe that together, we can bring out the best in each other. Collaboration, not competition. Community, not connections.

Marie Sinadjan is an author, singer-songwriter and musical theatre actress from Cebu, Philippines. She’s always loved theatre and music, as well as trading stories, worldbuilding, and collaborative writing. She has co-written a novel, an urban fantasy based on Norse mythology, and even composed original songs for the series, and her short stories have been published in literary journals, magazines and anthologies. She mainly writes fantasy of the mythology, fairytales and folklore variety, serving them up in a wide range of flavors – like her favorite drink, coffee.

She currently lives in the United Kingdom with her husband, where she’s starting to be active in the local theatre and music scene. She’s also working on a dystopian Ibong Adarna retelling as a nod to her roots, and a young adult fantasy inspired by bees..
