Marie is a columnist, humorist, novelist and screenwriter. She began her writing career at local, Brooklyn newspapers. Namely, Courier Life, Brooklyn Graphic and Spectator.

 One of her first assignments was covering the, “Miss Hotdog” contest at Nathan’s in Coney Island. Where she was, to her enormous surprise, crowned: “Miss Hotdog.” She was later syndicated by United Feature Syndicate, where she wrote humorist columns irregularly and irreverently. Being dubbed, “The Brooklyn Bombeck.”

She has written ads for Boston Chicken, Volvo and Designer Center and received two silver awards for two of the ads.  She has sold a screenplay to Transworld Attractions and optioned another (she’s written 28) to Rosa Colosemo, an Australian producer. 

 Marie loves to write. Being a multifarious woman (a true Gemini) she usually tackles two or more projects at a time. She’s presently working on a humorous screenplay and book simultaneously.

 She also enjoys antiquing. Although she admits that finding your old cereal bowl sold as an antique, is quite disconcerting.

 She has two daughters and two sons. The latter being lovable yellow labs, Dudley and Farley.

 “Despite what they may say, writing is not masochistic,” she smiles. “However, submitting your work, is entirely another story.”

 Her advice to young, enthusiastic writers: “Don’t take rejections seriously. Brush off disappointments. And try, try again.”
