Marina Cilona

Marina’s career began at the tender age of eight when she crafted a fantastical short story told from the perspective of a grape, shrivelling in a fruit bowl and cast aside in favour of more appealing fruit. Strangely, this unequivocal masterpiece didn’t win the local short story competition but remains a narrative for the ages. As an adult, Marina has written food and lifestyle articles for a range of publications and worked as a digital copywriter within the tech industry. She currently lives in Sydney with her crazy inventor partner and two children, so comparing credit cards, insurances and childcare options is pretty much a way of life for her.
