ABOUT ME

MY STORY

Anna Marie Cain is a reformed ad writer, ethnically Jewish, Mormon-raised Atheist who happens to be a queer, disabled Army Veteran. She spent a lot of time entrenched in spaces she felt like she didn’t quite belong. After leaving the Army, she received her BA from the University of Washington in English with a creative writing focus. Working as a copywriter in advertising she wrote commercials for brands that told people they were sacks of garbage without a new cream. Your phone is stupid, why not get this cooler one! In her mid 30s she quit and received her MFA in fiction from Sarah Lawrence College as a Kalodner and Graduate Scholarship recipient.

Anna Marie has been published in Northwest Review and Los Angeles Review of Books and is currently revising her first novel.
