Marley Gibson has been writing as long as she can remember and now has eleven manuscripts under her belt. Aside from fairy tales she penned in kindergarten and papers she had to do throughout school and college, her first recollection of a novel attempt was a teenage romance when she was eleven years old. Since then, she’s expanded her horizons and is finding her voice as a writer of young adult, chick-lit and romantic women’s fiction. Although she grew up in a small southern town, she now has friends in Hollywood, connections in the modeling and pageant worlds and is a regular in New York City and Miami’s South Beach.

An avid reader, travel enthusiast and a closet gourmet chef, Marley is a member of New England Romance Writers of America, the Creator and Founder of Chick Lit Writers of the World, an online RWA chapter, a member of the International Society of Meeting Planners and was twice named to “Outstanding Young Women of America.”

She holds a BA in Communication from The University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) and has been involved in marketing and events for over sixteen years. She’s worked for four Presidential campaigns, two United States Congressmen and several company presidents and vice presidents in various industries like financial, health care, home building, computer software, higher education and public relations.
